Description
Our beer is and will always be clean and consistent with a strong focus on balance. We feel our four flagship offerings best represent Pollyanna and take pride in their year-round availability (we package everything in cans and bottles). We're constantly experimenting with local fruits and spices, seasonal lagers, barrel-aging, wild yeast, and bacteria. In our intimate and truly unique taprooms, we offer tasting flights, draft pours, and to-go 64oz growlers, 32oz howlers, or 32oz crowler cans. Our Lemont location offers a scenic look at the brewery, our Roselle location offers a wide array of wood barrels, Italian Foudres, and a smaller brewhouse for unique one-off offerings, and our St Charles location offers our largest taproom and a beautiful view of the Fox River. Keep an eye out for a constant rotation of special firkins and taproom only offerings at each location.

Can from Alko. Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a thin but lasting white head. I like the smoothness here, nice biting fruity bitterness but also quite smooth and round. Loaded with citrus and mango like sweet fruits. Piny hops as well in flavor. Grassy finish, bit oily. Really good IPA.

BBE 31/10/16 (importer’s label) - Pours orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of chewy grassy hops, citrus, pine, resin, toffee, caramely malts and fruits. Taste is sweetish, hoppy and grassy with loads of pine, resin, fruits, some caramely malts and citrus. Finish is hoppy, piney and resinous with some fruits, caramely malts and dry bitterness. Pretty good piney and resinous IPA, surprisingly tasty despite it’s probably not super fresh.

Can at Konttori, Tampere. Slightly hazy yellow-golden, small steady white head. Aroma has citrus and gooseberry bush. Medium-bodied. Nice citrus-fruity hoppyness with gooseberries. Pale malty, sweetish backbone. Ok and feels fresh.

Tap at Oluthuone Leskinen, Oulu. Colour is cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, grape, hops and malts. Simple, nice body, little bit of musty because probably not very fresh but hops have still some nice kick left.
