As this little brewery tucked away in North Wales has continued to grow, so too has our ability to access hop varietals that we could only dream of when we first started back in that snowy January of 2018. Culture Shock is a full on celebration of the great golden goose missing from our arsenal before now; containing our first ever use of the world-renowned Nelson Sauvin varietal. Expect fresh crushed gooseberries, huge swathes of passionfruit, and white wine grapes, paired up with a high intensity fruit-bowl of tropical notes from Freestyle hop blends The Betty and The Bruce.

0,44 boks fra Kvaddås julebutikk, delt med fhv. skibsreder, romjulsrating på Bjørnøy: Uklar på grensen til grumset strågul med fint skum som varer. Gule druer, stikkelsbær, grapefrukt, saftige sydenfrukter og hint av urter. Silkemyk lekkerbisken som sørger for at julestemningen fortsetter å stige.

Can shared with Holmen1 at Bjørnøy 29.12.21. Milky pale yellow. White head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of grapfruit and various citrus, apricot, lychee, pineapple and a hint of hops. Good and interesting.

440ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Juicy, fruity and piney, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, white grapes, gooseberry, kiwi fruit, some passion fruit, oaty malty background. Taste is mildly bitter, tart-ish, fruity and piney hoppy, slightly dry, oaty malty, subtle sweetness, notes of white grapes, pineapple, gooseberry, kiwi fruit, some passion fruit. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Well balanced, highly drinkable - very good!

440ml can @ Salopian Bar with the TMBB crew before our curry night. Hazed golden yellow, large white head vibrant tropical fruit aroma. Taste presents preium Pollys, vibrant juicy fruity sweet character with a long juicy linger. Excellent Nelson profile with passionfruit, lemon pineapple coming through nicely. Very satisfying haze.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Murky golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of melon rind and lemongrass. Flavour of lemon jelly and straw. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Heavily hopped with a thick texture. A classic Polly’s beer.
