Basqueland Fresh N’Zippy

This Double IPA is a sensory exploration of thiol precursors, utilizing Phantasm grape skins alongside a complex hop bill of Cascade, Mosaic, and Motueka. The nose is an intense explosion of pink guava, white grape, and grapefruit zest, punctuated by a whimsical note of sour candies. On the palate, the experience is remarkably silky and bold, diverging from traditional bitterness to favor lush, ripe flavors of yellow peach and pineapple. The use of Mosaic Cryo amplifies the tropical depth, while the Sauvignon Blanc influence from Phantasm provides a sophisticated vinous finish. It is a full-bodied, modern interpretation of the style that prioritizes fruit saturation and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel.
