A sessionable showcase of some amazing hops!
Nectaron is so punchy and coupled with Citra and Idaho 7 results in a sessionable pale that's drenched in fruit and funky character.

NOVEMBER 2024.
On tap in a 40 cl glass (€6 at the pub).
Brewed using Golden Promise malts, oats, dextrins and unmalted wheat flakes.
The yeast is the "house" one.
The hops are those that characterize the beer first and foremost, the New Zealand Nectatron, together with the Americans Citra and Idaho 7.
It has an absolutely impenetrable, almost pastel, cloudy yellow color, classic "hazy" effect of a modern style, even if it is announced by the brewery as a simple "Pale Ale".
Very pronounced aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit and ripe citrus, with tropical nuances.
In the mouth, a full-bodied beer (definitely more IPA than Pale Ale) but soft and silky.
The taste is equally full and invasive: a mix of summer and tropical fruit (yellow peach, melon, summer plums, passion fruit, light hints of coconut water) and citrus (ripe orange, grapefruit). I also feel more sugary notes and peach in syrup, without ending up on the "sweet" itself.
This dense liquid releases a taste that invades the palate and remains well beyond drinking, since the bitter note is absolutely absorbed by the extreme general fruitiness and the silkiness of the body of the beer.
(India) Pale Ale definitely of "modern mold", very tasty and not very bitter, with a balance that can be revised but which will surely meet the favor of those looking for such an invasive and persistent fruity taste, with all its various nuances.
Product in line with the other things I have tasted from Verdant: the quality is unquestionable, as is the differentiation from a "standard" artisanal product of the genre.
In this beer the distinctive characteristics of modern "Hazy/Cloudy IPA" are enhanced, the rest is up to everyone's personal taste.
