Neon Colour Spreading

Tap to rate

Neon Colour Spreading is a hazy IPA from Verdant Brewing Co, based in the Cornish town of Penryn, United Kingdom. It pours a vivid, luminous golden-orange with a billowing white head and that characteristic New England turbidity. The aroma bursts with tropical intensity — ripe mango, passion fruit, and freshly squeezed orange zest layered over a soft, doughy base. On the palate it's lush and full-bodied, delivering waves of juicy citrus and stone fruit with a gentle resinous backbone. Bitterness is restrained and smooth, allowing the hop character to shine without harshness. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering tropical sweetness that invites the next sip.

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

Tulip glass

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.
