Simcoe hop is known for its intense bitter pine notes, complemented by touches of citrus and stone fruit, with an earthy and herbaceous background.
Simcoe hop, whose scientific name is Yakima Chief Hops, was developed and released to the market by Yakima Chief Ranches in Washington State, United States, in 2000. The variety is a hybrid cross of several others, although its specific lineages have not been fully disclosed, adding a touch of mystery to its history.
