Solo Sailing 5.6% – Pollys Brewing Co – 440ml

We’ll shout it again and again, in our opinion the quirk that makes a Polly’s beer a Polly’s beer is a bold confidence in using the hops that set the foundations for the modern craft beer movement to boom in the way it has, whilst simultaneously embracing our status as a modern day juice slinger. Solo Sailing works with this concept and employs a three way dance of hops to represent each major wave of craft beer as its developed over its relatively short existence. Centennial is flying the flag for the forefathers of the craft beer movement; those grassy, resinous characteristics setting the foundation for this beer with a pleasant bitterness, before the second wave of the early to mid 00s is fronted by Citra; those freshly cut citrus fruit notes absolutely bursting at the seams, with a final flourish of new school fruit-forward modern juice slinging hops represented by Talus for heavy tropical notes with a whisper of coconut and dried roses.
