Basqueland / Verdant Midnight Medusa

This collaboration between Basqueland and Verdant delivers a vivid Double IPA experience centered on a lush, complex hop profile. The use of Mosaic, in both Cryo and T90 forms, imparts deep layers of blueberry and tropical mango, while Amarillo adds bright citrus notes of orange peel. Simcoe grounds the profile with a subtle, resinous pine depth and a hint of earthiness. Despite its 8% strength, the beer remains remarkably drinkable with a clean, neutral malt base that allows the hops to take center stage. A firm bitterness provides structure, leading into a dry, lingering finish that perfectly balances intensity with a smooth, modern delivery.
