The star of this show was @VerdantBrew IPA yeast. It fermented vigorously and  quickly. Not to mention the fantastic fruit flavours. After 3 or 4 days it was done!

The 30g of bittering hops were a little too much. But 135g at hopstand and the same again dry-hopped for 3 days were amazing.

I’ll be making something like this again soon using the Verdant IPA yeast which I think was the key to this beer.
