Poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a full on hazy burnt orange to yellow color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head. Concaved nicely to leave some nice foamy ringed lace running here and there.
The aroma captured a pure blissful harmonic unity of those fleshy citrus juicy to bitter rind-like appeal cutting into some piney fresh to that "cooling sprucy" subsiding scent. Seems like the Simcoe hops were plucked just the week this was brewed.
The flavor was a spot on full ride of the bittersweet juicy citrus to piney fresh indulgence that I had hoped for. Fully captive aftertaste of the Simcoe hops - pure and indulgent.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a nice sipping quality. For an IPA, the Simcoe seems to come across so thick that the hop abrasion is there with it's harshness but still portraying the normal "New England juicy smoothness" that I have come to expect.
Overall, I felt like BBC squeezed fresh Simcoe hops right on into the beer and let it ferment right on the spot. If you don't like Simcoe hops, don't even think about giving this a shot, you'll hate it, seriously. Me, I'll drink gallons of this til my liver splits.

Served on tap at the brewery.
Pours a nice glowing medium straw color with one finger of soapy head.
Aromas are lots of light sticky hops with decent biscuit backbone.
Flavors are nice and drinkable with mellow hoppiness, light fruit and bread.
Mouthfeel was excellent. A bit more body than I was expecting and it was welcome.
Overall, lovely showcase of Simcoe.
