Basqueland SSD

The Basqueland SSD West Coast DIPA is a craft double IPA that pays homage to two great beer scenes: San Sebastián and San Diego. This updated version of the recipe refines the classic West Coast IPA character, taking it to a higher level with greater aromatic expressiveness, more body, and a bold hop presence. With 8.6% alcohol, it is an intense, modern, and perfectly balanced beer, designed for hop lovers seeking the most serious and aromatic version.

On the nose, it displays an aromatic explosion dominated by tropical fruits, with clear notes of pineapple, mango, and a touch of white grape. On the palate, it is powerful, with more body than is typical for the style, a firm malt base, and a clean, persistent, and elegant bitterness. The use of Citra, Kohatu, and Galaxy adds depth and complexity while maintaining the balance between alcoholic intensity and hop freshness.
