Simcoe Vibes: Pure Hop Power from Gundelfingen
The crew at FrauGruber is well known for their uncompromising approach to hop-forward brewing, and this time they teamed up with the legends at Yakima Chief Hops for an absolute powerhouse of a beer! Despite the name Simcoe Vibes, this release relies exclusively on cutting-edge YCH 3101 Trial Cryo Hops, without any Simcoe in the recipe. This Triple IPA is a stunning showcase of experimental hop innovation, revealing what happens when next-level science meets bold brewing passion.
As a Triple IPA, this beer competes in the absolute heavyweight class. FrauGruber masterfully balances the intense, ultra-fresh hop profile with a massive malt backbone, ensuring the substantial 10.4% ABV is dangerously well integrated. This is an epic brew crafted for those moments when you are craving maximum hop saturation, intensity, and depth.
In the Glass
In the glass, Simcoe Vibes displays a vibrant golden yellow with a slight, style-appropriate haze. The nose is greeted by an explosive burst of fresh grapefruit, ripe pineapple, and distinct resinous pine notes straight from the fresh-frozen Cryo treatment. On the palate, this juicy journey continues: vibrant fruitiness reminiscent of dark berries and citrus meets a beautifully balanced, robust bitterness. The mouthfeel is thick and almost creamy, leading into a long, warming finish with a lingering hop presence.
Food Pairing
Pairs with: Spicy chili, corn ribs with fiery Aleppo chili – and tangy Chèvre.
