ACE OF SIMCOE Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
We love hops. We adore and worship their profile ability to transform beer. You could say that we have a terminal addiction. To celebrate this fetish we’re heroing our favourites in single hopped limited releases. No also starring, no extras, no compromise. The Hop is the Hero.
A biscuity malty backbone builds to resinous pine with explosive citrus notes, culminating in a mango hit and a long bitter finish. This is pure Hop fusion, imploding with sensory overload.
Our Ace in the hole, devastatingly singular, deliciously bitter. Serving up an Ace each and every time.

Try adding a small portion of the hops to the kettle before you boil, as first wort hops.
