DDH Simcoe
Hazy and hoppy, with a creamy body and a clear bitterness. Simcoe gives this pale ale its name, with DDH stamped beside it. At 3.9% it stays under 4% while making a loud hop statement. It has been on the bar since at least 2018 and was still pouring on cask and draught in pubs in spring and early summer 2026.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for DDH Simcoe
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
