Basqueland Vermont
NEIPA - New England IPA - 5.5º
Basqueland Brewing
Basqueland Vermont is a luminous Hazy IPA that exemplifies the juicy, soft-textured substyle. Built on a foundation of Extra Pale and Chit malts, the addition of flaked oats and wheat creates a velvety, pillowy mouthfeel. The hop profile is vibrant and layered; whirlpool additions of Amarillo introduce a bright citrus core, while a heavy dry-hop of Motueka, Mosaic, El Dorado, and YCH 803 explodes with complexity. Expect a refreshing bouquet of lime zest and exotic lychee, anchored by a luscious, sweet undertone reminiscent of apricot compote. It is a modern, fruit-forward expression with a delicate, approachable finish.
