American IPA 5.9 º 62 IBU

Basqueland Brewing

This American IPA demonstrates a sophisticated interplay between a multi-grain bill and expressive modern hops. The addition of Golden Naked Oats lends a subtle nutty complexity and a smooth, honeyed depth that balances the beer's assertive hop character. Refreshing aromas of ripe plum and succulent melon lead the sensory experience, providing a stone fruit and tropical edge. True to its West Coast inspiration, the profile is defined by a notable, clean bitterness and a dry finish. The result is a highly drinkable, hop-forward ale where the specialized malt selection provides a sturdy yet transparent foundation for the vibrant fruit-driven aromatics.

Appearance. Ranging from medium gold to deep amber (6–10 SRM). Displays excellent clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct notes of melon and stone fruit (plum). Supporting these are low, clean grainy-sweet malt scents with a hint of toasted nuttiness from the oats. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, bursting with flavors of honeydew melon and dark plum. A medium-high bitterness provides a firm West Coast structure. The malt profile is low but present, offering a grainy, slightly nutty backbone. It finishes dry and crisp with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably smooth, creamy texture derived from the multi-grain addition. Moderate to high carbonation with a clean, refreshing mouthfeel and no perceptible alcohol warmth or astringency.
