Verdant PuTTy DIPA
Penryn / Cornwall // UK
It’s PUTTY time. Verdant's iconic DIPA returns once again, bursting with lush tropical fruit, a pillowy-soft mouthfeel, and that unmistakable haze.
As you probably already know, Verdant initially envisioned Putty as a distinctive beer, crafted for the debut of the Hop City festival back in 2017. Verdant aimed to create something that could proudly stand alongside the heavyweights in the hazy beer world and generate some hype, and it certainly did! Putty was sold out within a few hours, and the demand persisted. It was clear that Putty had to be brewed again.
Since that inaugural success, Putty has been an annual release and of course, they have stuck to the original recipe for this Double IPA. It features a malt base of Golden Promise, a higher-than-normal proportion of wheat malt, and generous amounts of oats and flaked wheat to provide a well-rounded flavour. The water profile is delicately soft and substantial whirlpool additions of Galaxy, Mosaic, and Azacca hops are employed. This is followed by an extensive dry hop, with equal parts Mosaic/Galaxy and slightly less Azacca.
Every year, Verdant go the extra mile to create a DIPA that’s perfectly balanced yet bursting with flavour. This year’s brew is no exception. Expect juicy notes of mango, passionfruit, and peach, complemented by subtle hints of resinous pine. It's some journey!
