Basqueland Brewing

This Hazy IPA showcases a sophisticated hop profile featuring the experimental YCH301 Mosaic, which utilizes fresh-frozen Cryo technology to capture vivid, harvest-fresh aromatics. The interplay between Mosaic and Cashmere hops delivers an intense sensory experience defined by freshly squeezed citrus and lush, ripe tropical fruit. A soft, grainy malt backbone supports the heavy dry-hopping, ensuring a juicy character without hop harshness. The result is a vibrant expression of modern hop science, leaning into the delicate nuances of stone fruit and melon while maintaining the smooth, opaque appearance and pillowy mouthfeel quintessential to the style.

Appearance. Pale straw (3 SRM). Distinctly hazy and opaque with a luminous shine; no visible yeast or hop particulates. Features a voluminous, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma bursting with mango, passion fruit, and blueberry from the YCH301 Mosaic. Complementary notes of lemon zest and herbal citrus are provided by the Cashmere. Malt character is low and neutral, presenting as fresh-baked bread.

Taste. Massive hop-forward flavors of tropical fruit and ripe citrus dominate the palate. Bitterness is low to moderate and soft, lacking any sharp or grassy qualities. Malt is supportive and grainy, leading into a smooth, off-dry finish that emphasizes juice-like esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, rounded texture. Carbonation is moderate. The beer possesses a smooth, non-astringent character with zero alcohol warmth, avoiding any raw starch or viscous heaviness.
