Basqueland El Brusco
American IPA - 8º
Basqueland Brewing
El Brusco is a quintessential West Coast Double IPA that presents a sharp, uncompromising sensory profile. Built on a clean foundation of California Ale yeast and a minimalist malt bill, the stage is set for a massive four-hop dry-hop. Mosaic and Idaho7 drive deep resinous pine and dank earthiness, while Citra and Galaxy explode with vibrant orange peel, grapefruit, and tropical fruit notes. The experience is defined by its clarity and aged golden color, leading into a palate that favors intense bitterness and a lean, dry finish. This beer prioritizes hop-derived pungency and crisp drinkability over malt sweetness.
