Simcoe substitution for Avery Maharaja recipe?

[Kosch]

So I'm looking to brew this up, but of course I couldn't find any Simcoe locally. I picked up all the other hops, and also some Centennial and Magnum.

Any thoughts on how I could adjust this for what I have or what is more readily available?

Thanks!

Bryan

Edit: Even though the recipe says Glacier is a substitute, the profile seems totally different than Simcoe? Also LHBS didn't seem to have any Glacier anyway.

What about Williamette? I ONLY say this because I am looking to brew a clone of midas touch and have found recipes using one or the other. Northern Brewer had some simcoe pellets on their website.

I highly recommend a combination of Apollo and either Centennial, Nugget, Chinook, Summit, Columbus. *Not straight Apollo, which may be too harsh/strong*. With the C120 and Victory, I doubt you will notice the lack of Simcoe that much.

There are no true Simcoe substitutes, a blend of Citra with a tad of chinook might get you close though.
