Basqueland Brewing Project

OK then.,. here’s a 440 ml / 14.9 oz pink label can, poured into a proper pint glass, in Toulouse, FR.
This is a Basqueland Brewing (Spain) 8th Anniversary collab with Deya Brewing (Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK), 1 of 8 limited, unique and unrepeatable brews.
Pours dense papaya batido thick, aromas of cantelope & pineapple jump out of the glass, right now. Creamy pale white head over carrot juice-color brew.
The Motueka hop is bam assertive and up front, different from being restrained and mixed, as is its usual unfeatured position.
Taste is oh my gosh fruit salad - I can’t get past the cantelope mush melon thing. A true milkshake DIPA, it’s chewy and dense from flaked oats and maltodextrin adjunk. Got late pine sap drip under the cantelope brolly and a little bitter bite.,. Gah!
Mouthfeel is uber thick, yet lush. Prickly carbonation somehow rises up the muck to be a propellant. A big thick burp takes a minit to get out. Mmmmbuurp.,.,
K then.,.
Overall, this is an evening project to work through, but, dammit, it’s an Anniversary beer.,. unique, extreme, and sum damp good.

440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 8.0%. Opaque / murky yellow colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of ripe yellow stonefruits, pineapple and other tropical fruits, some citrus and spruce too. Citric mouthfeel. Medium sweet flavour with the same elements as the aroma, low bitterness. Lovely beer!
