NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º

Basqueland Brewing

Basqueland High Road is a vibrant Hazy IPA that exemplifies modern hop intensity with a double dry-hopped profile. A complex blend featuring Mosaic, Idaho 7, Waimea, and Azacca Cryo delivers a high-impact sensory experience dominated by zesty orange, lime, and tangerine. These citrus notes are complemented by a hint of sweet tropical fruit and a clean malt presence. Despite its opacity, the beer maintains a refreshing bitterness that cleanses the palate. The infusion of Azacca Cryo ensures a concentrated fruit punch, while the Waimea and Idaho 7 add layers of depth, resulting in a bright, juicy, and highly approachable ale.

Appearance. SRM 4-6. Hazy and opaque golden-yellow with a luminous shine. Pours with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head that exhibits high retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet. Dominant notes of fresh lime zest, tangerine, and navel orange. Secondary layers of tropical stone fruit and berry from Mosaic. Background malt is neutral and lightly grainy with no caramel or toast.

Taste. Immediate wave of juicy citrus—orange and lime—followed by sweet tropical fruit flavors. The malt provides a bready, supportive backbone without heavy sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and refreshing, never harsh. The finish is off-dry and clean, leaving a lingering citrus and tropical fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. No astringency or hop burn is present, offering a clean and effortless drinkability without harshness.
