I had half an hour to kill last Friday while waiting for a train in Reading so I popped into the RG1 bar (Siren) to see if there was anything new. To my great surprise they had two Verdant beers on (as guests) Putty and Puttty the famous DIPA and TIPA that are released every January and are like hens teeth to get hold of. I missed them this year as we were doing dry January and by the time I visited their web site to buy a few cans they's all been sold out.
Anyway, this year's Putty was certainly up to scratch, it tasted to me like there was more Nelson than usual, maybe they'd tweaked the recipe but I'm not complaining it's one of my favourite hops. Such a good idea to hold a keg or two back and a great stroke of luck to be trying Putty in April!
