Basqueland Hell Or High Water is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases an intense tropical and citrus bouquet. The double dry-hopping process utilizes Citra, Vic Secret, and Simcoe to deliver lush layers of juicy pineapple, passionfruit, and a distinct grapefruit snap. These New World hops are supported by a soft, bready malt backbone that provides a smooth, pillowy foundation. A moderate 6.2% alcohol content integrates seamlessly into the medium-full body, while the restrained bitterness emphasizes a refreshing, fruit-forward profile. This beer captures the modern Hazy IPA aesthetic, balancing bright hop aromatics with a clean, approachable finish.
