Simcoe® Brand
Developed by Yakima Chief Ranches and released in 2000, Simcoe® YCR 14 emerged as a significant addition to the hop variety landscape. Known for its versatility in brewing and unique aromatic characteristics, it is one of the most popular and revered hops used by brewers worldwide.
Prized for its earthy, piney notes, Simcoe® boasts pronounced citrus, grapefruit, and woody aromatics. Suitable as a dual-purpose hop, Simcoe® is moderately high in alpha acids and holds a dynamic aroma profile, adding complexity to any recipe. Used throughout the brewing process, Simcoe® shines in hop-heavy IPAs, where its robust character can take center stage, or in darker, malt-driven beers like stouts and porters, where it adds a layer of complexity.
