Basqueland Phoenix
NEIPA - New England IPA - 9.5º
Basqueland Brewing
This formidable Double IPA showcases a vibrant hop profile driven by heavy additions of Mosaic, Azacca, and Cashmere Cryo. The sensory journey begins with an intense tropical explosion of mango and overripe pineapple, followed by nuanced layers of melon and lemon zest. Despite its potent 9.5% alcohol content, the beer maintains high drinkability with a clean, lean malt backbone that allows the concentrated hop oils to shine. A firm but smooth bitterness balances the light residual sweetness, while the cryo-hop technology ensures a saturated hop flavor without vegetal harshness. It concludes with a dry, resinous finish and a well-integrated, smooth alcohol warmth.
