Basqueland / Cloudwater Six Degrees of Separation

This collaboration Double IPA pours a pale yellow with a distinctively cloudy appearance, hinting at its modern, hop-forward execution. The sensory profile is dominated by high-intensity additions of Mosaic and Citra, delivering saturated layers of succulent mango, ripe stone fruit, and bright, pithy grapefruit. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability with a lean, supportive malt backbone that stays out of the way of the hop expression. The specific cold-dry-hopping technique ensures a clean, vibrant aromatic punch, leading into a firm but smooth bitterness that concludes with a refreshing, dry, and lingering tropical finish.
