Basqueland Upstream

This Cold IPA from Basqueland Brewing showcases a precise hop profile from Indie Hops, featuring the vibrant character of Luminosa, Strata, and Lorien hops. Fermented with lager yeast for a clean and crisp foundation, the beer delivers a refreshing, dry profile that emphasizes aromatic intensity. Bright mandarin citrus leads the bouquet, supported by layers of tropical fruit, subtle floral notes, and a touch of candy-like sweetness. Despite its hop-forward nature, it remains exceptionally drinkable with a light, grainy malt backbone and a balanced, slightly bitter finish that highlights its modern West Coast leanings and lean fermentation character.
