Simcoe hops finally get the spotlight they deserve in our SMASH beer series. We've used Simcoe plenty of times in IPAs, but never in a single hop experiment—until now. In this homebrew breakdown, we brew a 2-gallon SMASH beer with Simcoe and discover flavors we didn’t expect. Think candied pineapple, white peach, and subtle citrus peel. Join us as we go through the recipe, tasting notes, and whether Simcoe deserves a second chance in your next brew.
