Interesting on your observations of the Simcoe -- I had the exact same experience with a pale ale I brewed recently, which had 3 oz. of Simcoe in the dry hop. I was hoping for something much more piney than I got -- lots of tropical fruit and citrus, no evergreen tree. I'll probably try something else I want more prominent pine in my profile.
Yeah not sure if it’s the simcoe or something else. People seem to report a cherry character from red x so it could have something to do with that.
I had a single hopped simcoe ipa at a local brewery today and it was agressively piney more than anything.
