Description

Simcoe is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. Alongside its fruity and slightly earthy aromas, specific descriptors include grapefruit, passion fruit, pine and berry characteristics. In addition to its great bittering qualities, the Simcoe hop, often referred to as "Cascade on steroids" can also occasionally carry notes of apricots. Simcoe is often used for bittering due to its high alpha acid percentages, but can be used as a late addition as well to bring out more fruity aromas.
