Description

What is Simcoe?
Simcoe hops were introduced in 2000 by Yakima Chief Ranches and have since gained legendary status in craft brewing. Known as a “workhorse hop,” Simcoe provides excellent bittering properties while delivering a distinct aromatic punch. This hop balances fruity, piney, and earthy qualities with a resinous finish, making it a cornerstone in many hop-forward beer recipes.

How to Use Simcoe
Simcoe’s versatility means it excels across brewing applications. As a bittering hop, it provides a clean and crisp bitterness without overshadowing the beer’s malt character. As an aroma or dry hop, it enhances the sensory experience with its layered fruit and pine notes.

  • Bitter Hop: With high alpha acids, Simcoe provides an efficient and pleasant bitterness, perfect for beers with strong backbones that require balance.
  • Aroma Hop: Simcoe delivers aromatic depth with earthy pine and tropical fruit accents, elevating the nose of IPAs, Pale Ales, and other hop-centric styles.
  • Dry Hop: As a dry hop, Simcoe imparts bold aromas of ripe fruit and fresh pine, creating a signature complexity in the final brew.

Flavour Profile
Simcoe offers a robust combination of juicy tropical fruits, subtle citrus, earthy pine, and a slight herbal quality. This unique flavour profile makes it a favourite for hop enthusiasts.

Combining with Other Hops
Simcoe pairs exceptionally well with other iconic American hops like Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo. Its multi-dimensional character complements both bold citrus notes and softer, fruit-driven hops, allowing for a harmonious yet complex brew.

Benefits of Simcoe
Simcoe stands out for its clean bitterness, versatile usage, and unique blend of fruit and resinous flavours. These qualities make it an irreplaceable hop in modern brewing, especially for hop-forward styles.

Substitution

  • Substituting Simcoe: If Simcoe is unavailable, Amarillo or Mosaic are excellent substitutes, offering comparable fruity and earthy characteristics. While each hop brings its twist, both can replicate Simcoe’s core attributes in a recipe.
  • Simcoe as a Substitute: Simcoe can also step in for hops like Chinook or Cascade, providing a more fruit-forward twist while maintaining resinous undertones.

History
Simcoe is the brainchild of Yakima Chief Ranches, developed as a robust and flavourful hop to meet the demands of craft brewers. Its versatility and unique aroma quickly propelled it to stardom, and it continues to be a staple in breweries worldwide.
