Basqueland Brewing

Born To Run is a refreshing American IPA that prioritizes hop vibrancy and a refined texture. A heavy dry-hop of El Dorado and Motueka drives the profile, delivering a vivid bouquet of fresh lime peel, ripe pineapple, and whimsical gummy candy notes. The grain bill, featuring a blend of barley, oat, and dextrin malts, creates a remarkably smooth and silky palate that belies its sessionable strength. Clean and bright, the beer balances intense tropical fruit character against a supportive, grainy malt backbone and a crisp bitterness, resulting in a lively and highly drinkable experience for any marathon session.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (SRM 6-9). Pours with a slight haze, characteristic of the oat content, under a persistent, medium-sized white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit and citrus. Specific notes of crushed pineapple, zesty lime, and a distinct sweet candy-like ester profile. Low grainy-sweet maltiness provides a neutral base. Fermentation is clean and free of fusels.

Taste. Immediate impact of tropical hops, with El Dorado providing pineapple and Motueka contributing sharp lime peel and gummy candy flavors. A moderate hop bitterness is present but well-integrated. Low malt flavors of toasted grain and bread crust support the hops. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notable silkiness and creaminess from the addition of oats and dextrin malt. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing, prickly sensation without any perceived alcohol warmth.
