We’re really going head first into the whole idea of our Oat Cream beers here at Polly’s this year. After a trial period at our taproom Polly’s Social where we literally couldn’t brew enough to keep up with demand, we’ve since brought this style to our big brew kit with exactly the same results whenever we release one into the wild. Directly influenced by the soft, pillowy haze craze beers of the US that inspired us to brew in the first place, Lucid Delay is the next elevation of our Oat Cream beer game. With a higher than usual split of oats in the grist to accentuate that fluffiness, we’ve added fresh hand scraped vanilla and a lashing of lactose to really embrace the soft fruit flavours of the Nectaron and Sabro dry-hop charge. Expect peach and passionfruit with coconut and tangerine atop a pillowy mouthfeel on this amplified DIPA.

440ml can. Almost opaque yellow gold, white head. Aroma of vanilla milkshake with raw hops sprinkled on top, passionfruit, peach. Taste is completely dominated by the vanilla, yet the hops are intense enough to almost give off some hop burn, flavours of passionfruit, peach, grapefruit, and some very pithy citrus peel. Full bodied, smooth.
Not so keen on this substyle these days but I suppose it nails the brief so can't really fault it in that regard.
