Technical Data Sheet
Description
The GROSS Euskalipa Basque IPA 44cl is a unique take on the Basque IPA style, a craft beer brewed exclusively with raw materials from Euskal Herria. It is a proposition that embraces local products without sacrificing the hoppy character and balance expected from a great IPA.
Brewed with water from the Añarbe reservoir, Garagar Beroa malt grown in the Northern Basque Country (Iparralde), and Cascade hops from Pepo's Hops, produced in Azpeitia, this beer represents the potential of local ingredients applied to quality craft beer. Its clean, dry, and highly refreshing profile makes it a different kind of IPA, where the focus lies on the balance between malt and hops, offering an experience that is very easy to enjoy for both fans of the style and those wishing to discover new interpretations of traditional IPAs.
