This collaborative Hazy IPA from Outer Range and Basqueland showcases the expressive Superdelic hop. It presents a vibrant, opaque appearance, leading into a high-intensity aroma profile of Meyer lemon, ripe mango, and the unique red-berry character of bay fruit. The palate is defined by a soft, pillowy texture that carries layers of tropical punch and bright citrus oils. A 7% ABV provides a subtle, integrated warmth that supports the lush fruit esters without overshadowing the clean, doughy malt base. Low bitterness and a smooth, off-dry finish emphasize the juicy hop character, delivering a sophisticated and modern sensory profile.
Appearance.Pale straw to deep gold (3-5 SRM). Opaque, glowing haze with a dense, rocky, white meringue-like head that provides excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Dominant notes of sweet citrus, tropical mango, and red berry (bay fruit) from the Superdelic hops. Supported by neutral, doughy malt and light fruity esters; free of caramel, toast, or herbal notes.
Taste.Immediate explosion of tropical fruit and citrus oils. Malt flavor is low, manifesting as fresh white bread. Bitterness is soft and restrained, perfectly balanced against the fruity hop esters. Finishes smooth and off-dry with a lingering juicy fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky, and rounded texture. Moderate carbonation. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth; no hop-derived astringency or harshness.
