Hi Chuck,

I don’t think you can get Simcoe hop rhizomes since they are Yakima Chief trademarked variety.

I just bottled a batch of Sacred Cow IPA today. I used 2 oz. of Simcoe for a 10-day dry hop in the carboy. First time using these hops. The flavor of this beer is AMAZING! And it will only get better after it ages a few weeks.

I was able to meet the Carpenter Family (part owner of Yakima Chief) and get a bunch of these for a fresh hop IPA. I ended up using about 5-6 lbs of Simcoe. I brewed it and it turned out AMAZING. Beautiful aroma, beautiful flavor, just beautiful.

I went to pour a tall one last night, to find out my keg had a leak. I lost 2-3 gallons, and will now have to wait another year to make any more. *sniff sniff* I wanted to cry. Not really, but seriously.

I used these in a Troeg’s Nugget Nectar inspired ale I brewed yesterday. I plan on trying to find some roots to plant, as they were incredible. The smell reminds me of grapefruit, though I can’t say I remember if I’ve ever had passion fruit.

[...] A look at some of the varieties they’ve brewed over the last year should calm any concerns: a Simcoe-hopped IPA, a belgian style saison, and a rauchbier are highlights of a long and very impressive list. [...]

AH… PASSIONFRUIT! That’s the heavy sweetness I got from my Sincoe Centennial batch I bottled this week. My first feeling was the pungent nose came across just like Blue Moon, which surprised me. Boiled and dry hopped with Simcoe just to get a good feel for the hop. While the aroma was srongly Blue Moonish, the flavor I got from my taste test was more bittter. Now at least I have a name for the nose other than fruity and sweet, it was indeed passion fruit. You can sample passion fuit in some of those kern’s beverage products.
