Notes

Mash pH unadjusted was pH 5.39.
The Verdant Yeast gave the starter a dirty green colour. Quite weird. The starter fermented for 12 hours at about 25 degrees C and produced a very noticeable apricot and stone fruit aroma which was extremely appealing. I will certainly be using this yeast for my next NEIPA.
Excellent clean and quick fermentation at 18. Took 4 days. I was very impressed. My usual yeast for this would have been S04, no longer.

Once finished the yeast left a dense head over the beer which floated there. The beer was not very clear after 5 days at 1.5c.

Beer has an faint apricot flavour from the yeast which is very appealing. I fermented at the low end of the fermentation spectrum, 18c. If I fermented at 23 the top end then I am sure I would have been blown away with apricots.
