Verdant Brewing / Basqueland The Separate Self

This collaborative Double IPA from Verdant and Basqueland showcases a masterclass in modern hop saturation. A triple dry-hopped profile utilizes Motueka, Mosaic, and Galaxy to deliver a punchy sensory experience defined by layers of zesty lime, sweet orange, and succulent tropical mango. These fruit notes are balanced by a signature resinous dankness that adds depth to the profile. Despite its 8% strength, the beer maintains a clean, neutral malt backbone that allows the hop character to remain the focal point. The finish is crisp and dry, with a firm bitterness that ensures high drinkability despite its intense aromatic complexity.
