Península Galactic Sunset is a bold Double IPA that radiates a deep copper hue, inspired by the warm tones of a Tatooine sunset. This visual depth is achieved through a specialty malt bill featuring Maris Otter, T50, and Imperial malts, providing a bready, slightly toasty foundation. The sensory experience is dominated by an overwhelming intensity of Galaxy hops, which release pungent aromas of passion fruit, peach, and citrus. On the palate, the robust malt character balances a firm bitterness, leading to a clean, medium-dry finish. It is a high-impact ale where vibrant tropical fruitiness meets the heritage-rich complexity of premium English malts.
