Simcoe Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Simcoe is a popular American hop variety known for its complex flavor profile and versatility in brewing. It has become a staple hop in many modern craft beer recipes, especially those focused on bold hop aroma and balanced bitterness.

Brewers often describe Simcoe hops as producing flavors of pine, grapefruit, citrus, and tropical fruit with subtle earthy undertones. This layered hop character makes Simcoe useful across multiple brewing stages.

Simcoe performs well as a bittering hop thanks to its strong alpha acid content, while late boil additions and dry hopping help showcase its bright citrus and pine aroma.

Simcoe hops are widely used in hop-forward American beer styles where bold aroma and balanced bitterness are essential.

Ideal for:

• American IPA
• Double IPA
• Pale Ale
• Amber Ale
• Brown Ale

Simcoe pairs well with hops such as Citra, Mosaic, and Centennial to build complex citrus, tropical, and pine-forward hop profiles.

• Add early in the boil for clean bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance pine and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to develop bright hop aroma
• Dry hop for bold grapefruit, pine, and tropical fruit aroma
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve hop oils and freshness

Simcoe hops are especially popular in IPA recipes where layered hop character and aromatic complexity are desired.
