NEIPA - New England IPA 6.2 º

Basqueland Brewing

This Hazy IPA presents a vibrant, juicy sensory profile driven by an aggressive double dry-hopping of Bru-1, Simcoe, and Citra. Atera pours with a signature luminous haze, immediately releasing high-intensity aromas of fresh-cut pineapple and zesty orange. On the palate, the layering of Citra and Bru-1 creates a tropical fruit explosion, while Simcoe adds a subtle, grounding resinous depth. The malt profile remains understated and neutral, offering a soft, bready foundation that supports the hop intensity without interference. It concludes with a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel and a restrained, soft bitterness, emphasizing drinkability and hop-forward complexity.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (3-6 SRM). Opaque, uniform haze with a characteristic luminous shine. Large, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and thick, persistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity, dominated by tropical and citrus fruit. Prominent pineapple from the Bru-1 and sweet orange and tangerine from the Citra. Secondary notes of apricot and a faint, clean piney edge from Simcoe. Background malt is neutral, lightly bready, and grainy.

Taste. Massive fruity hop flavors echoing the aroma; ripe pineapple and bright citrus are front and center. Low to medium-low perceived bitterness that is soft and lacks any harsh edge. The malt provides a supportive, cereal-like sweetness that balances the heavy hop oils. Finish is off-dry and exceptionally smooth with a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, silky, and rounded texture. Moderate carbonation. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Free from astringency or hop burn, maintaining a smooth, non-viscous flow.
