First up from Dieu Du Ciel is Péché Mortel. This 9.5% imperial coffee stout is deep and dark with roasted malt flavours caused by the espresso coffee used in brewing and has a dry finish that is long and persistent.

Lastly is a mango sour wheat beer. Solstice d’Été Mangue has an interesting sour character developed from a heaping amount of fresh fruit being added during the brewing process.

have bought back their ‘Shark Week’ range this time with one brand new beer and we have all of them in stock!

Shark Week is a collaboration between Verdant, Shark Bytes and Mareco Research and 2% of all money from beer sales in the range is going towards funds for shark research in Cornwall.

Even Sharks Need Water is the first NEIPA Verdant ever brewed and since launching it they’ve gradually released a whole family of sharks bursting with Citra and Galaxy in a variety of ABVs. ESNW is the 6.5% IPA of the pack.

Next is The Don, a 10% TIPA inspired by the Megalodon, big, bold and deep. It’s packed full with Citra and Galaxy so citrusy, juicy flavours will be flowing through as you are drinking this. It’s the strongest version of their Even Sharks Need Water.

Up next is a Double IPA that’s been triple dry hopped. Whale Sharks is also hopped with Citra and Galaxy so its super fruity and full of flavour. It’s a slightly scaled down version of The Don.

At 4.8%, Baby Sharks is the little one of the group and it’s definitely way more enjoyable than the song! Especially as it includes with the same fruity, citrusy flavours as the other beers but lower in ABV.
