Simcoe

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and fine carbonation that sustains a delicate white head. The lacing clings persistently to the glass, marking each sip with thin, refined bands. Light transmission reveals the beer's lean body and clean presentation.

◌ Aroma

Simcoe hops lead with prominent grapefruit—citrus-forward and juicy on the nose. Pine and resinous notes emerge beneath, grounding the fruity top notes with a subtle woody character. The malt bill remains restrained, allowing the single hop variety to command the aromatic profile without obstruction.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and citrus-driven, with the characteristic grapefruit and orange notes of Simcoe developing across the palate. Mid-palate holds a silky, smooth mouthfeel that frames a measured bitterness—35 IBU provides restraint rather than aggression. The finish carries citrus and piney notes forward without sharp edges, leaving a clean, refreshing impression.

◑ Finish

Dry and lingering, with grapefruit and pine fading gradually into a clean, mineral dryness. The low alcohol (4.8% ABV) allows the finish to remain crisp and inviting rather than warming or heavy.
