As pale as a 100W light bulb but as juicy as an IPA. Session-able, quenching and totally addictive. Biscuity malt base with a hint of sweetness all drenched in fruity/dank hops.
Malt: Extra Pale Ale, Vienna, Oats, Caragold, Carapils. Hops: Simcoe, Centennial. Yeast: LalBrew New England.

On tap at Suds & Soda, Derby. Pours a cloudy lemon yellow with a small white head.. Aroma is soft sweet lemon. This continues in the mouth, though it starps to get sharper after a while. Some mango and melon too, with hints of caramel lurking around as well. Finish is a yucky bitter lemon. Not keen on this one at all.

My first Verdant beer! Verdant Light Bulb Extra Pale Ale 4.5% On cracking open the can, I got a bright peppery fruity hop bouquet. In the glass this hazy straw gold brew with the dense bright white foam had a pretty juicy aroma with pineapple and guava. Quite full bodied with a surprisingly dry raspy finish. A really solid brew that makes me want to try more from these guys.

Cloudy yellow body and okay bleach white foam. Soft aroma of lemonade, floral honey, sweet grain. Taste is sweet lemon, soft hops, ends with a dry grain finish that's reasonably crisp. Pretty low key but okay.

440ml can - Pours with a light haze, pale golden colour with an average sized frothy white head that gently settled. The aroma is pale malts, melon and soft sweet citrus. A moderately sweet and bitter taste, pale malt, melon, orange peel and lemon flavours with a drying hoppy finish.
