16oz can from Total Wine (Kennesaw, GA). 3.79. Canned, I believe 2/25/19. Served in a Barrel and Barley teku. Enjoyed 3/5/19.

Pours a brilliant, deep amber with a tall cap of ecrue froth. The head fades gradually, leaving a central island, a full collar and several large curtains of lace.

Smells piney up front with additional notes of grapefruit pith, flower petals and rye toast.

The flavors are taking me back to the West Coast. There’s bitterness aplenty from floral and piney to earthy citrus. Grapefruit peel, pine sap, crushed petals, pepper, a little rye bread and a tiny kiss of alcohol.

Slick, medium full feel with spongey carbonation. The bitter, lingering aftertaste is like grapefruit flower marmalade on rye.

Red Hare seems to be more prolific these days. Simply Simcoe bucks the latest trends in favor of a clear, bitter, almost classic West Coast IPA. It may not play to my preferences but it isn’t bad.
