Nose
Pine needles, earthy resin, and a subtle citrus note from the Simcoe hops. More savoury and herbaceous than its Citra sibling.
Palate
Bold and assertive with resinous pine, earthy hop bitterness, and a herbal quality. The wheat base is clean, allowing the Simcoe character to dominate. More challenging than the Citra but equally fascinating.
Finish
Long and dry with lingering pine resin and a pleasant bitterness.
Expert Review
7/10Mikkeller's Simcoe Dry Hopped Vodka is the earthier, more assertive sibling to their Citra expression. Simcoe hops bring piney, resinous character to a quintuple-distilled wheat spirit, creating something that will particularly appeal to fans of American IPAs. Challenging but rewarding.
