LalBrew® Verdant IPA Yeast : 11g Sachet

LalBrew Verdant IPA is a dry ale strain developed with Verdant Brewing Co. for brewers who want a softer, more expressive fermentation profile in hop-forward beers. It is especially well suited to New England IPA, hazy pale ale, English-influenced IPA, and other recipes where a little body, a little fruit, and strong hop presentation all need to work together rather than compete.

This 11 g dry yeast is known for contributing notes that can lean toward apricot, tropical fruit, and citrus, while still leaving enough structure for heavy late-hop and dry-hop schedules to shine. With a published working range around 64 to 77°F and attenuation around 75% to 82%, Verdant IPA is a strong option when you want a fuller, softer finish than a more neutral American ale strain would produce.

Why Brewers Choose Verdant IPA

• Built for hop-forward beer: Supports juicy hop expression without stripping body
• Expressive but not chaotic: Adds complementary fruit character rather than overpowering the recipe
• Great for modern IPA texture: Helps brewers land a rounder mouthfeel than many cleaner dry ale strains
• Convenient dry format: Easy to store for hazy IPA brew days and house-yeast rotation

Best Fit Beer Styles

• New England IPA and hazy IPA
• Hazy pale ale
• English IPA and modern pale ale
• Fruit-forward specialty ales
• Hop-driven beers where a softer finish is part of the target profile

Practical Brewing Notes

LalBrew Verdant IPA is a good fit when you want more fermentation personality than a neutral American strain typically gives, but still need dependable dry-yeast convenience. It can help bridge the gap between expressive yeast character and modern hop saturation in recipes built for softness and aroma intensity.

Because this is dry yeast, it is generally less risky to ship than liquid yeast. Even so, keeping yeast out of excessive heat and avoiding unnecessary transit delays is still worth doing.
