Cheater Hops #12: Simcoe
Sapwood Cellars Brewery

A handful of hop varieties pack such appealing aromatics that brewing with them is like cheating. We named our ever-changing series of IPAs “Cheater Hops” in their honor. Each iteration starts with a similar base beer, before dry hopping with a combination of our favorite hops! We are honest brewers, that's why we can admit when we cheat! We gave Cheater Hops #12 a base of malted barley, oats, and wheat. We then double dry-hopped with over three pounds-per-barrel of Simcoe® for its mango and pine characteristics.
