Verdant Brewing Co – It’s Clichéd To Be Cynical At Christmas IPA

It’s Clichéd To Be Cynical At Christmas is Verdant’s tongue‑in‑cheek seasonal IPA, brewed with Mosaic, Galaxy, and Strata hops for a saturated, fruit‑forward profile. It’s indulgent, juicy, and festive without being heavy—exactly the kind of beer that makes you smile at the holidays.
Tasting Profile:
- Appearance: Hazy golden with a fluffy white head
- Aroma: Passionfruit, orange pith, and tropical fruit juice with a resinous edge
- Taste: Waves of mango, citrus, and stone fruit, layered with dank herbal notes and a touch of sweetness
- Mouthfeel: Medium‑bodied, soft, and pillowy with balanced bitterness and a clean finish
Perfect for Christmas gatherings or winter evenings, this IPA pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, rich cheeses, or festive ham. It’s a seasonal treat that proves—sometimes it’s fun to embrace the cliché.
