Verdant Brewing - Psych! IPA
This is the Cornish brewer's first foray into the world of alcohol free beers and it's a 0.5% ABV vegan IPA delivered in a 440 ml can. The beer is produced utilising a "clever yeast", rather than by dealcoholisation. The ingredients include various malts and a good selection of hops (Chinook, Mosaic, Simcoe, El Dorado and Citra). This provides a spicy and attractive aroma when Psych! is poured into the glass. Floral and tropical flavours abound (particularly lemon and blueberry) in a well-orchestrated blend and there is also a nice base of resinous pine. The body is light but firm and there is a sharp hoppy finish. Hopefully it will not be long before Verdant brew a second AF beer.
