Imperial IPA 8 º

Basqueland Brewing

Basqueland’s Double Agent delivers an intense sensory profile defined by a tropical storm of Mosaic and Citra hops. This Double IPA offers a prominent aromatic punch of ripe cantaloupe melon and juicy pineapple, which carries through vividly to the palate. The use of Citra Lupomax intensifies these tropical notes while maintaining a clean, vibrant profile. A soft, dense malt body supports the high hop concentration, leading into a surprisingly sweet and smooth finish for the style. This beer balances powerful hop bitterness with a lush texture, delivering a complex, modern interpretation of the Double IPA that highlights bright stone fruit and tropical characteristics.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper color with a moderate-sized, persistent white head. Exhibits good clarity, though a slight, modern haze is present from the heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh pineapple and cantaloupe melon. Supporting notes of citrus zest and light resinous pine are present. Malt is neutral and grainy in the background, with a very clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Strong hop flavors of pineapple and tropical melon lead the palate. High bitterness is present but smooth and well-integrated. A low, clean malt character supports the hop load, transitioning into a lingering, sweet finish that contrasts with the firm bitterness. Aftertaste is fruity and clean.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, dense, and almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but lacks any harshness or solvent character.
