Darcy Steels: One of the best from the verdant back catalogue
Katalina Escobar is drinking an Under the Same Sky by Verdant Brewing Co at Katalina Escobar!
Really enjoyed the draft version in June last year so was keen to give the can a go. And it’s a TDH monster. An abundance of mango and tangerine with red berries adding to the fruit cocktail feel. No dextrose… does that make it a healthier option?

Katalina Escobar is drinking a Strata Collider by North Park Beer Company at Katalina Escobar!
Quite peaty, almost like a fine whiskey. Strawberry, mango, juicy. Hop burn is pretty intense and it’s on the border of medicinal; tasting fresh which is good when it is from across the pond.

Katalina Escobar is drinking a She Sells Citra by Pentrich Brewing Co. at Katalina Escobar!
Has a wonderful softness, akin to Deya. And the hop is really well presented. Grapefruit, lemon, some softer tropical peach notes, earthier on warming. If I wanted to introduce the hop to a new kid on the block I’d happily pick this one for them to try.

Katalina Escobar is drinking a No Kind Words by Pentrich Brewing Co. at Katalina Escobar!
Citra and Simcoe, the ubiquitous match. Citrus sharp with an underbelly of red berries. Needed to let it breathe a bit for the full monty flavour impact.

Katalina Escobar is drinking an ALLEN by Verdant Brewing Co at Katalina Escobar!
Vanilla cream, reminiscent of the yeast strain used by Deya. Pokey pineapple, mango and passion fruit. 📽️ joke totally wasted in my household!! Rounded and smooth.

Katalina Escobar: Darcy S. probably my favourite iteration to date.
andy: It's more to do with achieving the abv from malts alone without adding simple sugars like dextrose which will ferment entirely and potentially dry the beer out 🍻
