Basqueland Wild Atlantic

Basqueland Wild Atlantic 44cl is a West Coast Pilsner born from the collaboration between Basqueland Brewing and Galway Bay Brewery, two breweries united by the same ocean and the same passion for beers with great personality. This modern interpretation of the style combines the cleanliness, lightness, and dry finish of a pilsner with an intense aromatic expression of hops.

Brewed with a base of Pilsner malt, rice flakes, and Carahell, it lets the Mosaic, Motueka, and Superdelic hops take center stage, boosted by the SH45 yeast. The result is an extraordinarily refreshing beer with a light body and a profile packed with notes of lime, tropical fruit, white grape, and an elegant resinous background. A perfect choice for those seeking a modern lager with the aromatic character of an IPA, but without its alcoholic intensity or high bitterness.

Character, Flavor, Aromas

Basqueland Wild Atlantic presents an attractive pale golden color, bright and crystalline, crowned by a white, compact, and persistent head. On the nose, it offers an aromatic explosion of freshly squeezed lime, tropical fruit, white grape, and light floral and resinous notes that anticipate a fresh and vibrant profile.

On the palate, it stands out for its light texture and extraordinary cleanliness. The malt base provides a soft cereal support that leaves room for flavors of citrus, tropical fruits, and white grape. The finish is dry, crisp, and refreshing, with a firm but perfectly balanced bitterness that prolongs the hop sensations without being aggressive.

Food Pairing

Its fresh and dry profile makes Basqueland Wild Atlantic an excellent companion for seafood, grilled fish, sushi, ceviche, salads, grilled chicken, and Mediterranean rice dishes. It also harmonizes perfectly with burgers, pizzas with fresh ingredients, fish tacos, and semi-cured cheeses, where its citrus liveliness and elegant bitterness cleanse the palate and enhance every bite.
