We say it loud and we say it proud; in a world of soupy ultra-hopped triple IPAs sometimes there’s really nothing better than a clean, crisp, super smashable pale ale. Why not make it a single hopped showcase to boot? Oh go on, knock yourselves out. But what hop to use? Simcoe is a varietal that has transcended across each step of the craft beer boom in the UK; from the first wave big boys, to the second wave hype merchants, to our very own third wave scrappy new kids on the block – it offers a consistency unlike any other hop, and that apricot, berry and passionfruit balanced with pine and woodsy earth makes for the perfect sessionable pale.
