A DIPA co-fermented with three yeast strains (CW house, Verdant house and JW Lees) and dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin.
It's the first time we've riffed on a recipe from our celebrated 'v series' in four years. But the launch of our new collaborative project, The Mashup, felt like the perfect opportunity to bring back the highest-rated edition from that set.
Dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin, it drips with soft peach and stone fruit, followed by a burst of fresh tangerine and grapefruit. The resinous, umami qualities of Allen weave throughout, balanced by a candied fruit sweetness that lingers into the finish.

Cloudwater Allen V13 - Verdant collab
At VM fest 22. A bit hazy yellow color, small white head. Aroma is nicely tropical fruity hoppy. Flavor is tropical fruit all over as well. Smooth texture, fortunately not as dry as some other beers have been so far. Pleasant. 6-7,5-7,5-8-7,5.

I was really curious about this collab, some of the best hazy brewers in the UK must make something nice, right? Right! Thick, soft and sweet, with plenty of juicy tropical fruits and also a good amount of mango. Easy bitter finish.

44cl can pours a watery, sunset orange with some clumpy white head. Nose has ice cream and oranges off the top, some passionfruit and melon. Flavor is better, has some dank grass notes, melon, orange but still a touch sweet. Finishes fill bodied, lightly sweet, lightly boozy.
