Simcoe is a cornerstone of American West Coast brewing - a high-alpha dual-purpose hop with an intensely piney, resinous and passion-fruit character. Its assertive bitterness and complex aroma have made it one of the defining hops of the modern American IPA.
- Alpha acid: 12-14%
- Aroma: Pine, passion fruit, earthy, citrus, resinous
- Best for: bittering, late additions and dry hopping in hop-forward beers
- Great in: West Coast IPAs, double IPAs, APAs and pale ales
T90 pellets are the standard for homebrew use - consistent, easy to store and measure.
