Lehe Pruulikoda / Basqueland Phantasmic Voyage
NEIPA - New England IPA - 7º - 50 IBU
Basqueland Brewing
This Hazy IPA is an experimental sensory journey powered by Phantasm powder derived from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The addition of these thiol precursors unlocks a massive bouquet of sweet, ripe tropical fruits, featuring intense notes of passion fruit, pineapple, and juicy melon. While the aroma is an exuberant tropical bomb, the flavor profile is nuanced and balanced. The initial fruitiness transitions into a bittersweet grapefruit character supported by a background of old-school pine resin. A distinct caramelly malt sweetness emerges in the aftertaste, providing a sturdy foundation for the complex hop profile and well-integrated 7% alcohol warmth, making for an easy-drinking but impactful experience.
