We’re always asked what makes our beers so uniquely Polly’s here at HQ, and without a doubt it’s our confidence in honouring the breweries of yesteryear that built the foundations on which we stand today.

Diverse Shifts is a three-hop showcase of varieties that span across different generations of brewing; Centennial representing the founding fathers of the modern craft brewing boom, Citra showcases the bridge between the formative years and exploration into new, modern techniques, whilst HBC-1019 is very firmly rooted in the modern day – an experimental variety deliberately cultivated to accentuate fruit-forward flavours. A hop-bomb of an IPA, positively dripping with bold and bright citrus notes, with softer notes of peaches, coconut cream, caramelised banana, and passionfruit.

Fra fat på Mi2 Cardinal 15.1.25: uklar gulfarge med fint skum som varer. Granskudd, kokos, pasjonsfrukt, appelsinmarmelade, kokte grønnsaker og et streif av gymsokker. God bitterhet, men dessverre med en ufrisk og besk avslutning.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Hazy pale yellow colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of yellow stonefruits. Citric flavour, also notes of yellow stonefruits, a piney bitterness in the finish.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Hazy murky yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some nutty, biscuity and mild wine gums to it. Flavour is nectary, some herbal, grassy and biscuity tones. Mild tartness lurking too.

Keg draught at Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Papaya, melon, a bit of compost in the aroma. I normally think you can't go wrong with Polly's but this is a bit odd. Bittersweet taste, heavy on the booziness, waxy bitter hop on the finish ish. Medium body with heavy carbonation. Just doesn't hang together like I'd want. Passable but strange.
