#5 IPA

Wiper and True, Bristol

When we think of Verdant we think of uncompromisingly flavourful hazy beers, and so, naturally, we opted for a juicy ol’ IPA for this collaboration. We were delighted to welcome Adam and Sam over from Penryn for a day of fun, before a joint tap takeover and a LOT of table tennis.

First up, we designed a sweet backbone of malts, rich with Golden Promise, wheats, oats, and a touch of Caramalt, to create a strong base that could easily carry the hops. About those hops… Hefty whirlpool additions of Motueka and Sabro hops bring notes of lime, coconut and pineapple. Then, inspired by the maestros from Falmouth we dry hopped twice at carefully selected lower temperatures; a technique the Verdant team have worked hard at perfecting. Citra, El Dorado and Motueka added at 13 degrees bring hints of zesty citrus, white wine, pineapple and lemon freshness, whilst Galaxy added at 4 degrees brings floral notes of passionfruit. Soft, full and deliciously satisfying, this is an IPA with serious clout
