Lallemand Verdant IPA ALE YEAST
LalBrew® Verdant IPA was specially selected in collaboration with Verdant Brewing Co. (UK) for its ability to produce a variety of hop-forward and malty beers. Prominent notes of apricot and undertones of tropical fruit and citrus merge seamlessly with hop aromas. With medium-high attenuation, LalBrew® Verdant IPA leaves a soft and balanced malt profile with slightly more body than a typical American IPA yeast strain. This highly versatile strain is well suited for a variety of beer styles including NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout and Sours.

Description
LalBrew Verdant IPA is a unique hazy ale yeast born from a collaboration between Lallemand and the UK’s Verdant Brewing Co — masters of the soft, tropical, hop-forward New England style. It’s engineered to express exactly the ester profile that makes NEIPA distinctive: think ripe apricot, mango, and tropical fruit notes layered under your hop additions, amplifying them rather than competing. If you’re building a lush, flavour-forward hazy IPA, Verdant IPA yeast is your starting point.

Brewing Notes
Medium flocculation means Verdant IPA yeast stays in suspension longer than most, contributing to the soft, pillowy mouthfeel and natural haze that defines the East Coast IPA style — no flour or starch additions needed. Ferment at the warmer end of its range (20–22°C) to maximise the apricot and tropical ester production; cooler ferments are cleaner but lose some of the yeast-derived fruitiness that makes this strain special. This yeast rewards generous dry-hop additions — its ester profile acts as a flavour amplifier for tropical and stone-fruit varieties.
Beer Styles & Brewing Tips
- New England IPA (NEIPA) — ferment at 20–22°C; add a double dry-hop with Galaxy and Nectaron for a fruit-forward finish. Do not fine — let the natural haze work.
- Hazy Pale Ale — dial back the hops slightly and ferment at 19°C for a sessionable, aromatic pale that punches above its weight.
- Tropical Pale Ale — Verdant IPA shines at 4–4.5% with tropical hops for a showcase mid-strength summer beer.
- Double IPA / Imperial Hazy — pitch rate and yeast nutrients matter at higher gravity; follow Lallemand’s recommended pitch rate for OG above 1.070.
In Australia’s warmer months, Verdant IPA’s wide upper temperature range (up to 24°C) gives homebrewers in Queensland and Western Australia more flexibility than most English ale strains. A basic fermentation fridge or cool cupboard is enough for most of the year in southern states.
In the Glass
A soft, hazy beer with an apricot-forward, tropical nose. Medium body, pillowy mouthfeel, and hop aroma that stays lifted. The yeast-derived esters and dry-hop character interlock beautifully — this is what Hazy IPA should taste like.
