Península Weekend Getaway is a potent Double IPA that presents an immersive sensory journey driven by a heavy dry-hop profile of Citra, Cashmere, and Strata. As a turbid interpretation of the style, it carries intense aromas of ripe passion fruit, bright citrus, and a whisper of herbal complexity. On the palate, the Citra hops deliver bold grapefruit and lime notes, while Strata adds depth with hints of strawberry and tropical melon. The 8.3% ABV provides a structured warmth that balances a firm bitterness, finishing with a smooth, velvety texture and a lingering, resinous fruit character typical of modern hopped ales.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange color with a distinct, opaque turbidity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Taste.Strong and complex hop flavors of mango, grapefruit, and melon dominate the initial impression. Moderately high bitterness is present but smooth and well-integrated. A low, soft, bready malt character supports the hop-heavy profile. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a clean alcohol flavor.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency or solvent notes.
