honey kolsch

Should I add simcoe pellets at the ten minute mark?

I would only use Nobel hops in a Kolsch.

What recipe are you using?

Kolsch should really have noble hops, but its your beer!

northern brewer honey kolsch... it has 2 oz of hallertau at the 60... I wanted some tangerine tones. so I thought about simcoe. Thoughts?

One big fat vote for no.

I thought Simcoe had a "piney" aroma/flavor... And Kolsch shouldn't really have any huge hop flavor or aroma from what I understand. I'd think the 2oz of Hallertau (depending on the AA%) should be it in my opinion.
I think at a certain point, it doesn't have any business being called a Kolsch when you play with the adjuncts (assuming you're using honey) and hop varieties and schedules. But that's the purist in me I guess.

Ok...thanks for the advice.
