Simcoe is a cornerstone of American IPA brewing - a dual-purpose hop from Yakima Chief Ranches (YCR 14) released in 2000. It combines deep pine and resin with passion fruit, citrus and earthy notes.

Hop profile

  • Origin: USA, Yakima Chief Ranches
  • Alpha acid: around 12-14% (crops can range wider)
  • Aroma: pine, resin, passion fruit, grapefruit and citrus, apricot and earth
  • Type: dual purpose: bittering, flavour and aroma

How to use it

Use it throughout the brew - for bittering, late additions, whirlpool and dry hopping. It pairs well with Mosaic, its offspring, and with Citra or Chinook. Alpha acid changes from crop to crop, so check the figure on your pack and scale your recipe with our Hops Alpha Adjustment calculator.

Who it's for

Brewers of West Coast IPAs, double IPAs, American pale ales and hop-forward beers; it can also add complexity to stouts and porters. T90 pellets are the standard form for home brewing - consistent, easy to weigh and easy to store. Keep the opened pack sealed and cold; our hop storage guide explains how.
