Figures! Pick one of the few hops that's completely sold out until next year.
Love, love, love Simcoe though. First time I tried it was Uncle Billy's All-Simcoe Pale and couldn't get enough.

Super weird because I literally just pitched this to the rest of our guys today. Always been a huge fan of the style and it's somewhat rare around here I suppose.

Jock.. that beer pictured right there is your Helles Rauchbier? It's yellow.
quote:
the grains for rauchbier should be charred a bit, giving it a darker color, right?

Not that anyone has to follow any rules in beer making!

Is it possible to just 'smoke' the malt w/o actually charring it? Was your specialty malt dark/charred at all?

But.. to clarify where I'm coming from:
2008 BJCP:
22. SMOKE-FLAVORED/WOOD-AGED BEER
22A. Classic Rauchbier
Appearance: This should be a very clear beer, with a large, creamy, rich, tan- to cream-colored head. Medium amber/light copper to dark brown color.
22B. Other Smoked Beer
Appearance: Variable. The appearance should reflect the base beer style, although the color of the beer is often a bit darker than the plain base style

19A. Bamberg Style Helles (Smoke) Rauchbier Lager
GABF Style Listing (2007)
Helles Rauchbier should have smoky characters that range from detectable to prevalent in the aroma and flavor. Smoke character is not harshly phenolic, but rather very smooth, almost rendering a perception of mild sweetness to this style of beer. This is a medium-bodied, smoke and malt-emphasized beer; with malt character often balanced with low levels of yeast produced sulfur compounds (character). This beer should be perceived as having low bitterness. Certain renditions of this beer style approach a perceivable level of hop flavor (note: hop flavor does not imply hop bitterness) and character but it is essentially balanced with malt character to retain its style identity. Helles Rauchbier malt character is reminiscent of freshly and very lightly toasted sweet malted barley. There should not be any caramel character. Color is light straw to golden. Noble-type hop flavor is low but may be perceptible. The aroma should strike a balance between malt, hop, and smoke. Fruity esters, diacetyl, and chill haze should not be perceived.
Color SRM (EBC): 4-5.5 (8-11 EBC)
