It’s been a source of giddy excitement here at Polly’s HQ knowing that we’ve managed to get our hands on a small but significant amount of Luminosa from our hop merchant this year. Our brewers have been feverishly checking each hop delivery since we confirmed it, and the day finally came a few weeks ago; leading to utter chaos in the brewhouse as our brewers scrapped over who got to be the first to use this latest hype-forward hop variety. We couldn’t have utilised such a hop in anything else bar a big, daft, silly DIPA and after trying the beer off the sample tap we understood the hype and then some. Luminosa Daze could well have elevated our DIPA game to the very next level - making us feel as though we’ve been transported to the sunny white sands of a Caribbean beach, this beer is pure sunshine trapped in a glass. Expect peach-mango lemonade, candied orange peels, boysenberry and papaya in this ultra-potent, flavour intense beer.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Cooling pine into ripeish lemon tinted citrus, a hint of something tropical. Mild hop spice on the crisp finish. One of those brews where expectations and results are miles apart. I love Luminosa hops and the Polly are no slouches at delivering good hoppage. So, my hopes were high but this brew ain't meeting them. It's not a bad brew by any stretch but just not as good as it was in my head.
