We confess to being big music heads here at Polly’s HQ, with a huge spectrum of styles appreciated brewery-wide. Whether it’s a “Champagne Supernova”, a “Killing in the Name”, or an “Orange Crush”, there’s just something that’s always stuck in our minds about how uniquely memorable a repeated first verse is. We wanted to apply this concept to a beer, and First Verse, Twice was born. Featuring a first verse of El Dorado in the boil, we added a healthy chorus of Mosaic and Simcoe during fermentation, before coming back for another go around on El Dorado once again in the dry-hop. The result is a juicebomb of a beer, positively dripping with notes of tangerine, jelly tots (yes, really) and red grapefruit for balance. An all out explosion of flavour; Team Polly’s doing what we do best.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Hazy yellow colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of pine, grapefruit and tropical fruits, a faint hint of tomcat, but not disturbing. Equally pleasant and refreshing flavour, notes of pine needles, citrus and tropical fruits, not too sweet. Moderate bitterness. Another good beer from Polly's Brew.

440ml can from Harry Tuffins after a ride at Bucknell Woods. Hazy glowing orange appearance, small white head. Sweet fruity nose. To taste it's fairly pokey, confidently sweet, a touch pithy, full bodied. OK sipper, but think this is perhaps nearing its 'fresh before' despite 2 months remaining.

440ml can delivered from the Two-Tailed Lion and drunk at home. Pours light golden, hazy and fairly flat with a small ring of white head. Dank tropical fruit aroma with melon, canned pineapple juice, white grape. It taste fairly sweet leading to an astringent hop bitterness. Very short finish. Watery body, medium carbonation. Decent stuff.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes, kindly shared by lmojoh. Hazy yellow-gold body under a stable snow white head. Inviting citrus aromas, wheaty. Pineapple, mango, and orange to the taste profile, backbone of wheat. A welcome, smooth fruity bitterness to the ending. Fine depth. Likable. (Rating session with Finn, lmojoh and djoeye, Finn's place in Tromsø 28.01.2021).
