Basqueland Defcon 5
Imperial IPA - 8.5º
Basqueland Brewing
Basqueland’s Defcon 5 is a modern Double IPA that balances a bold, silky structure with refreshing dryness. A base of lager malt, flaked oats, and chit malt creates a soft, hazy body that carries a massive dry-hop profile. The interaction of Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Citra hops delivers a whirlwind of ripe mango, juicy peach, and fresh papaya, accented by unique notes of tart blueberry and crisp white grape. Fermented with Saturated yeast for tropical depth, it offers a complex, saturated sensory experience that remains deceptively drinkable despite its strength, finishing with a delicate, clean dryness that invites the next sip.
