Additional Information Known as a bittering hop with good aroma characteristics

Typical Hop Use Bittering

Interesting cause while good for bittering there is so much complexity to this hop that it lends a great flavor and aroma. I would argue, that It is better used later in the boil and allow something like Cascade to do the bittering. This is one of my favorite hops.

I had a few all simcoe brews that have been very nice indeed!
