Stopped in the homebrew store today looking for some Simcoe. They were out, but the guy suggested Falcon hops as a sub. I have never heard of this hop nor can I find anything on the net. Anyone ever hear of this hop before?
It may have been Falconer’s Flight. They are a blend and AFAIK have some simcoe in them. I wouldn’t say they are just like simcoe, but they make a nice IPA.
I was just geeting ready to say the same thing. Falconer’s Flight is blended hops. Simcoe is part of it so is Citra, Amarillo and a few more. Nice hop. Aint “Just like Simcoe”.
It is with great pleasure that Hopunion LLC announces the release of Falconer’s Flight™, an exclusive proprietary hop blend created to honor and support the legacy of Northwest brewing legend, Glen Hay Falconer.
In celebration of Glen’s cutting edge style and the ever-evolving nature of the craft beer industry, Hopunion has developed Falconer’s Flight™. This novel proprietary pellet blend is comprised of many of the Northwest’s most unique hop varieties and is perfect for any Northwest-style IPA. Each hop has been hand selected for its superior aromatic qualities, imparting distinct tropical, citrus, floral, lemon and grapefruit tones.
Ask Denny and Jeff, they were at NHC. Denny tried it, I’m not sure if Jeff did but he might have seen the whiteboard with the name there. Maybe not though, it kicked pretty fast.
