Two Chefs / Basqueland Sunny Waves

This West Coast Double India Pale Ale, a collaboration between Two Chefs and Basqueland, presents an aggressive sensory profile defined by its staggering 90 IBU. Despite the high bitterness, the inclusion of rice creates a remarkably bright, crisp, and lean foundation that allows the hops to dominate. Expect an intense aromatic display of resinous pine and sharp citrus zest. On the palate, the hop-forward character delivers layers of grapefruit and floral notes against a minimal, cracker-like malt backdrop. The finish is bone-dry and refreshingly clean, effectively masking its significant strength behind a wave of cooling, persistent bitterness that defines the style's assertive West Coast character.
