Pours a clear copper with a tight oft white head that shows some staying power. Chalky sheets of lace. Carbonation appears minimal.

Nose: Piney sweet.

Medium to full mouthfeel. Malts are thin on the initial taste, giving only a vague sweetness to the brew. As the beer warms a slick caramel base emerges. Hops are thick and juicy. Lots of pine rind and citrus goodness. A slight green onion flavor lingers and leaves a bitter crud on the finish. This is definitely big on hop additions.

The first one i.ve tried out of the latitude series, impressed so far.

Awesome. I knew I liked Simcoe for a reason. Good on all ends. Real oily characteristics on this one fragrance and flavor wise. Thick, consistent, and distinct. I'm kind of disappointed that I went to this as I doubt the last two I have left of this series will live up to this one. But what can you do. This is a solid beer. Especially considering that there is only one hop varietal in use. A pleasure to drink.
