Basqueland For the Win

This Double IPA from Basqueland Brewing presents a punchy, tropical-forward sensory profile driven by a trio of Idaho 7, Ekuanot, and HBC 431 hops. At 8.5% ABV, the beer balances its strength with a clean malt base that allows the hop character to shine. Idaho 7 contributes signature notes of pineapple and pine, while Ekuanot adds layers of lime and melon. The inclusion of HBC 431 rounds out the experience with nuanced stone fruit and earthy spice. The result is a bold, hop-saturated ale that prioritizes fruit-driven intensity and high drinkability, finishing dry without the heavy malt sweetness often found in strong ales.
