You could sub in just about any fruit-forward, New World hops here, but there’s just something about Simcoe and Amarillo in a session-strength beer that seems to work better. Ultimately, this is about creating a robust yet low-gravity grist to balance the hops. If you get that part right, the rest is a cakewalk.
