The original underrated dark horse of the original three and back permanently as part of our Icons range; Patternist has gained and continues to carry its own massive cult following thanks to it’s no frills El Dorado and Simcoe hop bill, albeit hopped up to the absolute nines, and its ornate tiling artwork garnering amazing feedback. A favourite among the staff here at Polly’s, and the beer from the original three that started it all that we’ve brewed the most since we launched our Augment range, expect all kinds of mango, pineapple, jelly tots (no, really) with just a hint of resinous pine bursting from this incredible IPA. A hit when we first brewed it, and a surefire hit again with all the techniques we continue to learn since
Look, we love the holy trinity hop combination that makes up one of our iconic Polly’s beer in Spur – Azacca, Citra and Simcoe is a pretty hard combination to beat when it comes to those high juice, low bitterness vibes direct from the United States that inspired us to brew in the first place. Whilst it feels sacrilege to break up such an iconic hop combo, there’s nothing our brewers enjoy more than tweaking combinations slightly to get a feel for how certain hop flavours express themselves when held up against other hop varieties, usually executed in a kickass pale ale to test the smashability. Manor Detail does this and some – eschewing Simcoe for another Polly’s stalwart in Mosaic, to create a beer ultra high on the fruit-forward flavours – expect a fruit salad of juicy mango, fresh cut citrus fruits, blueberries, and tangerine, backed up with a whisper of bitterness for balance.
A four way dance of the freshest possible crops of Mosaic, Citra, Talus and Strata, we wanted to bring the flavour to the max on this beer, without that cloying sweetness that can befell the style. We’d say we’ve knocked it out of the park with this beer – if we’d have packed anymore into this beer we’d be bursting at the seams; with 24g/l of bold passionfruit, tangerine, sweet berries and coconut, with a whisper of rosewater and sage for complexity, this is definitely a beer fit for a birthday celebration.
Bringing a cocktail of the most fruit-forward hops we possibly could source to the table on this beer, we’ve gone all out on this DIPA – mountains of the freshest crops of Citra, Idaho 7, Nelson Sauvin and Sabro make up this beer, and it shows in the flavour intensity. A certified swagbag of punchy pineapple, coconut cream, lime, mango, gooseberry and passionfruit is on display in this beer specifically designed for a celebration – bring on the party!
Spur has always been a massive in-house favourite here at Polly’s, and the proof is in the pudding – the hop bill of Azacca, Citra and Simcoe bounces with Um-Bongo levels of tropical flavour, featuring a full on fruit salad of papaya, peach, tangerine and mango on both the nose and flavour. The scrappy medium child of the original Augment trio – a nightmare to can on its first go round in 2019 on the back of how highly hopped it was – we’ve tamed this awesome beast and brought it into our Icons range as a permanent fixture. Slathered with our bespoke in-house LA3 yeast culture for massive hop suspension, this is a beer that is 100% hazy, dank, and juicy. Spur, it’s good to have you back for good.
We never like to have to exclude anyone from enjoying the experience of a Polly’s beer. We had it in mind that bringing a gluten-free beer to our output was the sensible thing to do for what felt like an eternity, and thanks to advancements in our brewing technology we’re delighted to bring Pine to the Polly’s party. Wrapped up in the style that we know and trust best, this pale ale encapsulates everything we’ve grown our reputation to over the last six years, but safe for those with an intolerance to the products in our regular output. Not cutting any corners here, we’ve brought Mosaic Spectrum, Idaho 7 and Chinook to the dance on this beer to creat a pale ale positively bursting with tropical, pineapple and clean pine notes.
