Simcoe hops brew?

[golfgod04]

What is your favorite style of beer to brew to showcase simcoe hops? Thanks in advance for ideas

I really like Simcoe in an APA.

I am not sure it is my favorite, but a Simcoe American Pale Ale should showcase the hops nicely.

I just brewed a Russian River Row 2 Hill 56 clone yesterday which uses all Simcoe hops, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=369668. I am looking forward to drinking this in a few weeks.

Cheers

I recently made the SMaSH by Norther Brewer and it was a big hit with everyone who tried it. I am going to make it again in a few weeks, but I purchased more Simcoe hops (2 oz) to double the dry hops and add more to the 15 and or 5 minute additions. This way I will get more of the flavor/aroma from the hops. Or maybe I'll add the additional hops at flameout instead or do a whirlpool. Either way this brew had the bitterness right on, just wanted to bring out more of flavor/aroma of what Simcoe has to offer. Good luck!

PS - This is my last extract kit waiting to be brewed. I may look at making this again but going All-grain. Well after all the other brews I want to try to make.

Hope it turns out well for you

Single hopped simcoe apa?

Yes, that's what I did - Simcoe for bittering, and Simcoe in a hop stand. I think you could tweak it by using different bittering hops, but I haven't tried it yet.

I had a nice Simcoe golden ale / special bitter on Friday. Can't remember the brewery but it was good. A bit like an APA but less malty and paler. Nice moderate fruity hop aroma.
