Basqueland / Verdant Double Down

This celebratory Double IPA, a collaboration with Verdant, presents a saturated sensory profile defined by a heavy dry-hop of Citra, El Dorado, and the experimental HBC586. The aroma is an intense tropical explosion where ripe pineapple and juicy clementine zest dominate, supported by deep stone fruit notes. Despite its dense, hazy appearance, it maintains the core identity of a Double IPA with a firm bitterness that balances its 8% ABV. The palate reveals layers of peach and nectarine over a soft, supportive malt base, finishing with a lingering resinous warmth and bright citrus oils.
