Imperial IPA 8 º

Basqueland Brewing

This Double IPA, a collaboration with Humble Sea, offers an intense sensory experience driven by a heavy dry-hop of Citra, Amarillo, and Vic Secret. The aroma is high-intensity, bursting with specific notes of stone fruit, ripe melon, and a nostalgic hint of sour fruit candies. On the palate, expect a wave of tropical flavors supported by a clean, neutral malt base that stays out of the way. Despite the high hop load and bitterness, the mouthfeel is remarkably soft and smooth, leading to a dry, balanced finish. It captures the essence of a modern, hop-forward powerhouse while maintaining high drinkability and a clean fermentation profile.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head. Clarity is mostly clear with a slight, soft haze consistent with its modern dry-hopping levels.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent peach, apricot, and melon from Amarillo and Vic Secret. Citra contributes bright citrus and tropical notes. A supportive, neutral to grainy maltiness is found in the background with a clean fermentation character.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and stone fruit flavors. Hop bitterness is firm and moderately high but lacks harshness. Features a soft, unobtrusive malt character that allows the hop profile to dominate. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a clean, smooth alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a distinctive, super soft and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, providing a smooth delivery without any harsh astringency.
