Hop Valley Operation Vacation
Operation Vacation is a bright and tropical American IPA designed for easy drinking without sacrificing aromatic intensity. It features a heavy dry-hopping of Simcoe Cryo Hops, which delivers a concentrated sensory punch of peach, fresh pear, and bright citrus. The base is built on a light golden malt profile, providing a clean, grainy support for the high hop bitterness. Its texture is notably smooth yet highly effervescent, creating a lively mouthfeel that enhances the aromatic stone fruit and tropical accents. The finish is crisp and hop-forward, leaving a lingering, clean bitterness and a hint of fruity hop character.
Appearance. Luminous medium gold (6 SRM) with brilliant clarity and high effervescence. Pours with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of ripe peach, fresh pear, and bright citrus zest. Subtle tropical undertones are supported by a low, clean, grainy malt sweetness. Fermentation is very clean with minimal yeast-derived esters.
Taste. Initial impression is a firm, clean hop bitterness followed by medium-high hop flavors of citrus and stone fruit. A low, grainy malt character provides a subtle backbone. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, resinous hop bitterness and continued notes of peach and pear.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture despite the high, bubbly carbonation levels. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness or astringency.
