Basqueland Brewing’s Karma Campeón is a vibrant Hazy IPA designed for high drinkability, featuring a grain bill of barley, oats, and wheat that provides a soft, structural foundation. The sensory profile is led by a complex hop blend including Ekuanot, Idaho 7, and Saphir. Bright top notes of clementine and zesty lime transition into a heart of succulent, ripe pineapple. While the primary character is tropical and citrusy, subtle herbal and resinous undertones add a layer of sophistication. This balanced approach ensures the fruit-forward qualities are grounded by a classic hop depth, resulting in an uplifting and exceptionally smooth experience.
Appearance.Straw to light amber (approx. 4–6 SRM) with a characteristic opaque, hazy shine. Pours with a medium, meringue-like white head showing high retention and dense lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring bright clementine, lime zest, and ripe pineapple. Low bready and grainy malt notes from the oats and wheat provide a soft background, while subtle herbal and resinous hop notes add complexity. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters.
Taste.Massive fruity hop flavor echoing the aroma with dominant clementine, lime, and tropical pineapple. Low bready malt flavor provides a light sweetness for balance. Perceived bitterness is moderate but restrained and softened by the grain bill. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a lingering herbal and resinous hop character that remains pleasant rather than harsh.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky, and rounded texture derived from the wheat and oats. Medium carbonation provides a gentle lift without being prickly. No significant alcohol warmth or astringency.
