Oso Brew / Basqueland Big Gulp

This collaboration Triple IPA, pushing the upper limits of the Double IPA style at 10% ABV, presents a formidable sensory experience defined by its massive hop saturation. The profile is dominated by an intense, layered bouquet of tropical fruits and sharp citrus, reflecting a heavy-handed late hopping regime. While the hop bitterness is aggressive and firm, it is deftly supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone that prevents the beer from becoming overly syrupy. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth underscores its strength, leading to a surprisingly dry finish that invites another sip despite its significant gravity.
