Península Spring SMaSH
Celebrate the simplicity of the Spring SMaSH, an American Pale Ale designed for refreshing spring days. The single-malt backbone of Maris Otter provides a subtle bready foundation that allows the solo Citra hop additions to shine brilliantly. Expect an inviting sensory profile dominated by bright citrus aromas, specifically focusing on vibrant grapefruit and zesty orange notes. With its light body and crisp delivery, this beer balances a delicate malt sweetness with a firm yet accessible bitterness. It offers a clean, straightforward experience that emphasizes the pure, citrus-forward character of its modern hop variety against a premium British malt base.
Appearance. Pale golden to gold (5–7 SRM). Brilliant clarity. Moderately large, persistent white head with fine bubbles and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity hop character featuring distinct grapefruit, orange peel, and subtle tropical notes from the Citra hops. The malt presence is low to moderate, providing a clean, bready, and slightly biscuity Maris Otter base. Fermentation profile is clean with negligible esters.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with bright citrus flavors of grapefruit and orange. The Maris Otter malt provides a supportive, toasted bread backbone without becoming heavy. Moderate bitterness (targeting 30–40 IBU) balances the malt, leading to a clean, dry finish. The aftertaste is refreshing, with lingering citrus zest and a crisp bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that creates a crisp, lively sensation on the tongue. Smooth overall texture with no alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
