NEIPA - New England IPA 6.3 º 40 IBU

Basqueland Brewing

Basqueland Sabotage presents as a quintessentially lush Hazy IPA, defined by its massive double dry-hopped aromatics. The interplay of Idaho Gem and Azacca drives a saturated tropical profile of ripe mango and pineapple, accented by the distinctive red berry and stone fruit notes of HBC 431. Beneath the fruit intensity, a clean, bready malt foundation provides a soft support structure. The palate is decidedly juicy, offering a smooth, pillowy texture that carries the vibrant hop flavors through to a gentle, low-bitterness finish. It is a modern, fruit-forward expression that prioritizes hop saturation and a supple mouthfeel over sharp bitterness.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (4-6 SRM); opaque with a consistent, characteristic haze that creates a matte shine. Features a persistent, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with dominant notes of mango, papaya, and sweet pineapple. Secondary notes of cherry and red berries emerge from the Idaho Gem and HBC 431. The malt profile is light, bready, and grainy, providing a neutral backdrop for the fruity esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the tropical and stone fruit aroma. Low to medium-low bitterness that is well-integrated and never harsh. The malt is lightly doughy and supportive. The finish is off-dry and exceptionally smooth, with a lingering juice-like aftertaste and negligible hop resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Very smooth with no astringency or harshness; a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is appropriate for its 6.3% ABV.
