Lightbulb Extra Pale Ale 4.5% ABV
 
If you've never tried a Verdant beer before, you simply have to give this a try to see what everyone's talking about!
 
A great introduction to Verdant Beers.  Lightbulb is light and refreshing, a great beer to drink cold on a hot day.  Brewed at the Penryn Brewery, within just 4 or 5 miles from us here.  Citrussy, refreshing and hoppy. 
 
Here's what they say:
 
As pale as a 100W light bulb but as juicy as an IPA.
 
Session-able, quenching and totally addictive. Biscuity malt base with a hint of sweetness all drenched in fruity and dank hops.
