Grabbed a can of Verdant's Putty from my local shop yesterday and cracked it last night. Tried really hard to be objective and not hate it because of the hype. But it's just a nice DIPA, thick and full bodied, nice juicy taste but that's it. It still suffers from that cloying sugary build up by the end of the can that every DIPA I can remember has. A lovely beer but the hype and the price (2 for £12.50 where i got it from, but some places are charging £8 a can) is not justified, not even close IMO. Saturated in Motueka from Deya, 8% and £4.50 a can in the same shop, is a better beer.
