Moersleutel Blueprints Basketball – Double IPA 8%

Big, Juicy & Engineered to Score

Moersleutel Blueprints Basketball is a fresh, fruity, and irresistibly juicy 8% Double IPA built for maximum flavor and smooth drinkability. Creamy, full-bodied, and bursting with tropical character, this DIPA delivers a vibrant mix of white wine elegance, ripe mango, refreshing gooseberries, and bright citrus.

Powered by Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin hops, and rounded out by subtle vanilla-like sweetness from the yeast, Basketball is a perfectly balanced tropical brew with a soft, creamy finish.

The Craft Behind Blueprints Basketball

Juicy Hop Design, Blueprint Precision

Blueprints Basketball focuses on layered fruit expression supported by a smooth, hazy structure.

Hop Blend: Juicy & Expressive

  • Nelson Sauvin – white wine, gooseberry, and fresh grape notes

  • Mosaic – ripe tropical fruit, mango, and juicy depth

  • Citra – bright citrus lift and refreshing finish

Together, these hops create a dynamic fruit-forward profile that’s bold yet refined.

Yeast Character: Soft Vanilla Sweetness

A carefully selected yeast strain contributes subtle vanilla-like notes, adding:

  • Gentle sweetness

  • Rounded mouthfeel

  • Balance to the intense hop fruitiness

Malt Bill for Creamy Smoothness

Using barley malt, wheat, oats, rye, spelt, and rice, we built:

  • A full, creamy body

  • Smooth texture

  • Excellent hop support

This ensures a rich mouthfeel without heaviness.
