Operation Vacation is designed to be enjoyed while on vacation, or more specifically, whatever that means to you. If you enjoy tropical applications of leisure, look no further than the accents from the heavy dry hopping of Simcoe Cryo Hops. Note the intense aromas of peach, citrus, and fresh pear. Vacation all you ever wanted? Now Go Go!

Clear golden colour. Aroma and flavour both have a mix of fruity hop and earthy, piney hops. In both cases the piney hops are dominant. A bit furry on the palate.

Draft pour pint at frankies. Pours a clear golden color with a thin oily head. Grainy hop heavy aroma. Cool flavor to start. Lemon like flavor with an almost minty finish. Unique pale, overall not bad. Interesting.

Very slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a light tan glow. Aroma of grass, very light hops and a touch of grain. Light-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with grass, pine, resin and bit of floral notes around, showing some subdued alcohol and malt notes with not much else. Aftertaste shows a rather grassy and herbal flavour with a good kick from pine and resin and a light bit of rye. Overall, a nice APA with a pronounced hoppy flavour and still a rather easy-to-drink bite. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Zupan’s (Burnside) in Portland, Oregon on 02-May-2015 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Portland on 04-May-2015.

Draft - Grapefruit and a bit of pith. Clear gold with a small white head. Nice light grapefruit notes and balanced sweetness. Very easy drinking.
