POLLY'S - ARTIFICIAL PLANTATION PALE (440ml) 5%(Gold £4.15)
We’re infamous for it at this point – taking some of the most hype-forward hops in the world and condensing all that flavour intensity of our bigger beers into a much more sessionable kind of beer.
Artificial Plantation was born from a round robin amongst our staff to identify their favourite and most flavourful hop varieties we work with here at HQ. The result? Possibly the biggest flavour bomb of a pale ale we’ve created since day dot here at Polly’s.
Artificial Plantation brings together a quartet of Idaho 7 Cryo hops, Mosaic, Simcoe and Strata to create a pale ale positively bursting at the seams with flavour. A base of I7 and Strata on the hot side creates an undercurrent of resinous bitterness to balance the all out attack of pineapple, tangerine, berries, stonefruit and passionfruit from our heavy lashing of cold side additions. Reeled back to a sessionable 5% smasher, this is a pale ale that packs the punch of one of our big beers but condensed to a more pintable strength
