Our little mini series of beers have always proved to be insanely popular here at Polly’s. Whether it’s the individual staff-designed beers, or the Late Summer single hop pales, a long running theme always seems to go down a storm with our fans. When tossing up ideas for the next series to whirl into our brew plans, our owner Sean came up with the idea of “B Sides” – BIPA versions to run alongside re-brews of our most popular beers. Naturally, it felt the right thing to do to christen this series with the original Augment trio – first up, Patternist! The cult classic turns to the dark side, with those mango, pineapple and (seriously) jelly tot flavours are showing in abundance to play off the light roasted notes from our very late addition of dark malts in the brew. An incredible start to this series.

440ml can. Very dark murky brown, beige head. Aroma of chocolate, tropical and citrusy hops. Taste is malty, sweet chocolate, light roast, piney, grapefruity, and tropical hops, quite a bitter finish in spite of the sweet malty start. Medium bodied. Really decent BIPA.

Can at home, 18th March 2022. Pours a black murky hazy BIPA. Aroma is tropical fruits and cocoa, roasted malts. Taste is Tropical fruits, and citrus, roasted malts and cocoa, well infused, plenty of hops and a definite fruity hoppy BIPA, well balanced, literally a black version of the original, excellent
