🌍 United Kingdom · IPA · One of 16 IPAs in hopIQ

Even Sharks Need Water is an IPA from Verdant Brewing Co, based in the Cornish port town of Penryn, United Kingdom. It pours a hazy, golden-amber with a soft, pillowy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is vivid and tropical — ripe mango, juicy peach, and fresh pineapple ride alongside a wave of resinous pine and a gentle floral lift. On the palate it delivers a lush, full-bodied experience: stone fruit and citrus zest up front, balanced by a firm but approachable bitterness that keeps things sharp and drinkable. The finish is clean and moderately dry, with a lingering tropical sweetness that encourages another sip. A confident, well-crafted West Country IPA with real personality.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Even Sharks Need Water

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
