🌍 United Kingdom · Extra Pale Ale · One of 3 Extra Pale Ales in hopIQ

Lightbulb is a radiant Extra Pale Ale from Verdant Brewing Co, based in the Cornish harbour town of Penryn, United Kingdom. It pours a luminous, straw-golden hue with a pillowy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is bright and expressive, showcasing tropical and citrus hop character — think ripe mango, zesty lemon peel, and a whisper of fresh grass. On the palate, it feels light and approachable, with a soft, rounded mouthfeel that carries gentle bitterness alongside juicy fruit notes. The finish is clean and refreshing, with just enough hop snap to keep things lively. A beautifully crafted session pale that lives up to its illuminating name.
