Simcoe Waimea XPA was a semi-regular feature of those halcyon Loka Polly beers and then it just…disappeared. Our inability to source Waimea hops meant this combination was very nearly lost to the archives until we were informed by our hop merchant that we’d secured the white whale on our hop contract for the year. Sweet mandarin, stonefruit, and berry notes take the softer flavours on this incredible pale ale, with an undercurrent of bright pine and resin keep things in check.
