Pulp is a big 8% ABV double IPA that hides its strength dangerously well. A chewy body in a hazy golden package underpins the bold fruity flavours and aromas. Dextrose is used in the boil to aid fermentability of the wort, and the use of wheat and oats in the grist help add body. A combination of American and Australian hop varietals bring notes of mango and grapefruit.

Verdant – Pulp

Verdant’s incredible rise to international acclaim starts with a story of home brewers with a dream. The Falmouth-based brewery started life as a part-time operation in 2014. Based in a shipping container, their initial brews were released in tiny 200 litre batches and they couldn’t brew enough to keep up with their growing demand. In early 2016, they expanded to a 10-barrel operation in dedicated premises and ended the year being named by beer rating site RateBeer as England’s best new brewery. They still haven’t caught up with demand for their trademark hazy and juicy hop-forward beers and cans fly off shelves up and down the country.

Pulp is a big 8% ABV double IPA that hides its strength dangerously well. A chewy body in a hazy golden package underpins the bold fruity flavours and aromas. Dextrose is used in the boil to aid fermentability of the wort, and the use of wheat and oats in the grist help add body. A combination of American and Australian hop varietals bring notes of mango and grapefruit.

Every effort is made to match the brewery recipe precisely, but at times it maybe necessary to change some of the listed ingredients on the recipe to alternatives due to seasonality or availability, but in all cases we do our best replace with something that won’t impact on the overall taste and flavour of the beer. This version of the recipe has galaxy replaced with vic secret, as unfortunately its not always possible to source galaxy hops.

    Terrific recipe and well worth the extra £££. The balance of bitterness and smooth juicy fruit is perfect and the oats give it a lovely thick orange juice mouthfeel that makes for dangerously easy drinking. My only gripe with the kit is that it left me 10 points under on the OG – if I do it again I’ll try a 90 minute mash instead of a 60. Having said that, it still tastes bloody good as a 7% beer.

    Fantastic beer really well balanced at little short on the numbers but close enough, will be looking to cook the other Verdant tribute at some point don’t be but off by the cost it’s so good.

    I often seek out Verdant beers and this is very good all that have tried it and really enjoyed it.
