well, my first smash is finally cleared after a couple weeks in the fridge.
turns out simcoe is frutier than i gave credit!
holy cow this stuff is citrusy! i like citrus, but this is a bit over the top...lol.
anyway, a few more months in the bottle, and i bet it will be a bit mellower.
looks like bud light too. and it did not thin out like i was worried it would.
here is what i did:
