What? When I have had it, it has had HUGE flavor and aroma. Is it possible you got an old one that has faded in these areas?I loved it when I had it.

I had this beer a short while back as well and really enjoyed it too. The flavor and aroma were good from what I tasted and I like Simcoe. I second that the bottle may have been older and that would not surprise me either. Last year my wife bought me a 6 pack of Great Divide Titan IPA and it was 5 months old by the time she bought it too. JK try another one and see what you think further.

I bet the hop flavor and aroma is incredible at the brewery.

Definitely could have been an old bottle. I'll check to see if it's dated.

This is the beer that taught me "you don't really like simcoe all that much".

My wife often asks for "something light, like a Hercules"!Gotta love her.

Boo. I know there are some simcoe haters out there, but my Primum Mirus IPA does not taste the same without a simcoe FWH addition. When it comes to simcoe, I hear people getting resinous sticky icky all the way to cat pee (gross) but I get piney/juniper notes. Did I mention that I bitter my ESB's with fuggles? Okay, now I'm just asking for it

Siouxbrewer, No worries I am with you on the Simcoe, I rather enjoy this hop and would not hesitate to use it for Pales and IPA's. Oh you said Fuggles. I have a lb of it in the freezer and will be using it in many English beers down the line.

I also love the Simcoe, will try the simcoe double IPA given the opportunity.
