Simcoe Overload

◎ Aussehen

Hazy golden-yellow with a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Carbonation appears moderate, creating a gently rolling texture within the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent grapefruit zest and resinous Simcoe hop character, backed by a subtle earthy grounding from Columbus. Beneath the citrus sits a light, clean malt foundation with a hint of white bread. The overall impression is fresh and herbaceous, without any sharp alcohol burn.

◐ Geschmack

Grapefruit bitterness enters cleanly on the palate, building through the mid-palate with pithy, resinous hop flavors and a subtle tropical fringe. The malt provides a soft, doughy backbone that balances the assertive bittering. At 50 IBU, the bitterness is present but measured, fading into a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish dominated by lingering grapefruit pith and hop resin. The aftertaste trails into a light, grainy dryness without harshness.
