Basqueland Brewing Secret Alphabet
Imperial IPA - 8º - 30 IBU
Basqueland Brewing
Secret Alphabet is a lush Double IPA that showcases the experimental HBC638 hop alongside the iconic Nelson. The sensory journey begins with an intense, dank resinous nose that quickly gives way to layers of ripe mango, stone fruit, and a subtle whisper of strawberry. Brewed with a soft foundation of lager malt, flaked oats, flaked wheat, and oat malt, the beer possesses a signature silky, full-bodied mouthfeel that cushions the high hop saturation. Nelson hops contribute a bright, New Zealand-inspired complexity of white grape and gooseberry, finishing with a firm but smooth bitterness that emphasizes its modern, hazy character.
