DDH Simcoe

◎ Aussehen

Hazy pale gold with a loose, creamy head that settles to a thin collar. The cloudiness comes from dry hop matter suspended throughout the body, creating a soft, inviting visual impression. Carbonation is moderate and steady, contributing to the fine, persistent lacing.

◌ Aroma

Simcoe dominates the nose with its characteristic woody, piney, and slightly herbal character. Underneath sits a soft malt backbone that grounds the hop intensity without competing. A touch of citrus peel and resin rounds out an aroma that feels both bold and balanced for the beer's modest strength.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with gentle malt sweetness before Simcoe's bitterish, resinous flavour takes over mid-palate. The body is creamy and smooth, almost silky, which softens what could otherwise be a sharp bitterness at 35 IBU. Dry hopping adds depth without harshness, leaving a clean, slightly herbal finish.

◑ Abgang

A lean, drying finish with a lingering piney aftertaste that persists for several minutes. The low ABV ensures no alcohol warmth; instead, the close is refreshing and crisp.
