It could be said that we’ve been pretty wowed by the latest crop of Idaho-7 here at Polly’s. As soon as our first delivery of the year landed, we knew we’d scored an incredible crop and it’s one that routinely sets the phasers to hype across the entire spectrum of the brewery, so what better to celebrate such a potent, wickedly flavoursome hop than a bold, amplified, maxed out DIPA?
Late Night Phone Call is our big tribute to an incredible varietal that absolutely sings from the rooftops that this is a Polly’s DIPA and it means serious business.
Utilising both the T-90 and CGX versions of this hop, this beer absolutely bursts with an abundance of mango and grapefruit, with heavy lashings of soft apricot notes before closing out with light floral undertones and earthy black tea.

Taste comprises bitte orange, hop spice, raw pineapple, dank kick, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Tidy.

Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light and mildly dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied pale malts, a mild creamy sweetness. Savoury hop intro, mild hop spice. Light cooling pine into that piney and slightly resinous broad spectrum hop fruitiness that is very much Idaho 7. Doesn't have the fruity punch and sometime bitterness on Galaxy but, they are cousins in my head if unrelated hop gene wise. Soft finish leaves a resinous hop fruity and slightly spicy bitter linger. Nice one.

Pink grapefruit and papaya, some tangerine, citrus rinds, strata floral and herbal notes chiming in with some black tea accents, oat and wheat infused soft malty backing, balanced bitter piney hoppy close. Very nice Idaho 7 showcase.
