Simcoe is one of the most popular American hops. Its characteristic pine and citrus aroma make it a staple of American IPA's. This hop requires a delicate balance however. Overuse in dry-hopping can create very unpleasant flavors. This beer was designed to provide a rich, malty mouthfeel using Vienna and Munich malts. This helps round out the hop flavors, providing a light sweetness to complement the citrus. Hops were added in equal parts to the kettle and dry hop to create more depth to the flavor.
