CoolHead / Basqueland Head2Head: Round 5: Flying Hop Dust
NEIPA - New England IPA - 6º
Basqueland Brewing
This vibrant Hazy IPA delivers an intense summery experience through an expert blend of Nectaron, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. The aroma is dominated by the signature stone fruit and nectarine profile of Nectaron, layered with the tropical pineapple and mixed berry notes characteristic of Mosaic. Simcoe provides a grounding touch of bright citrus and passionfruit. On the palate, the experience is notably sherbet-esque, offering a playful, zesty brightness that complements lush flavors of peach and tropical fruit. The malt provides a soft, bready foundation, leading to a smooth, juicy finish with minimal bitterness, perfectly capturing the refreshing, hop-forward intent of this international collaboration.
