Polly’s Essentials box 12-pack

Floret - Pale Ale 4.5% 

Rosebud - IPA 5.9%

Our flagship core beer - the style we're most well known for, and what we do best. Rosebud is an IPA brewed in the New-England style; the most popular variant of the style in the world. We've hopped this beer with the freshest Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops to create a certified tropical punchbowl of flavour. Strong enough to retain all that incredible flavour and mouthfeel, but sessionable enough to still smash pints of.

Patternist - IPA 6.6%

The original underrated dark horse of the original three and back permanently as part of our Icons range; Patternist has gained and continues to carry its own massive cult following thanks to it's no frills El Dorado and Simcoe hop bill, albeit hopped up to the absolute nines, and its ornate tiling artwork garnering amazing feedback. A favourite among the staff here at Polly's, and the beer from the original three that started it all that we've brewed the most since we launched our Augment range, expect all kinds of mango, pineapple, jelly tots (no, really) with just a hint of resinous pine bursting from this incredible IPA. A hit when we first brewed it, and a surefire hit again with all the techniques we continue to learn since

Spur - IPA 7.2%

Spur has always been a massive in-house favourite here at Polly's, and the proof is in the pudding - the hop bill of Azacca, Citra and Simcoe bounces with Um-Bongo levels of tropical flavour, featuring a full on fruit salad of papaya, peach, tangerine and mango on both the nose and flavour. The scrappy medium child of the original Augment trio - a nightmare to can on its first go round in 2019 on the back of how highly hopped it was - we've tamed this awesome beast and brought it into our Icons range as a permanent fixture. Slathered with our bespoke in-house LA3 yeast culture for massive hop suspension, this is a beer that is 100% hazy, dank, and juicy. Spur, it's good to have you back for good.

Oh My... - Citra & Sabro Pale 5.8%

Our last collaboration before the 2020 lockdown with our super pals over at Big Mountain Brewing, and a surefire cult favourite takes its rightful place as the pale ale showing for our new Icons range. We've revisited this beer several times over its lifespan, and originally our first foray into using everybody's new favourite hype hop Sabro in one of our beers, we're now world-weathered in the little quirks and idiosyncrasies of this incredible varietal. Amplified up to the max, Sabro brings a metric tonne of sweet, creamy, pineapple and coconut notes before being reeled in by an in-house Polly's favourite in Citra to keep everything balanced. Named for a truly terrible George Takei impression, this beer will literally make you say "...Oh my!".

Rosa - DIPA 8.5%

Back for good as part of our Icons range, if Galaxy Mosaic IPA was the beer that set off some rumbles for us, then Rosa was the beer that smashed through the glass ceiling and planted us firmly on the map. Gaining near-universal praise from drinkers and industry insiders when we first brewed it in 2019 for our UK-wide Augment launch, for all the incredible places our Augment range has branched off into since then, we love coming back to what we feel is the benchmark for our DIPAs, and our brewers certainly get giddy with excitement when they know our headline beer is back on the brew plans. Featuring a five-hop mega line up of Simcoe, Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra and Ekuanot, this beer is sticky, juicy, piney and dank - 100% Polly's.

The Hop Studio - Wakatu Pale Ale 5.5%

Through every iteration of our growth over the last demi-decade, one thing that has persisted throughout is this brewery’s love of hops, and how we’ve born an entire business that now looks after the livelihoods of fourteen team members from this love. The Hop Studio felt like a natural extension of this love - showcasing the single most complex, wonderfully diverse ingredient we use in our process bar none. Whilst an elder statesman of the NZ hop world, Wakatu is a newer variety to us here at Polly’s. First released all the way back in 1988, predating even Polly’s stalwart Citra, this triploid hop has a whole lot going for it; with parentage of Hallertau Mittelfruher and NZ Male Hop plant, it carries all those wonderful noble characteristics, but with punchy fresh lime notes, offset with a little vanilla sweetness to boot. 

Kyra - India Pale Ale 6.5%

You asked, and we responded - Kyra is back! First brewed in 2020 to rave reviews, and then again last year, this is perhaps one of our most requested beers across the entire board. A beer born out of a passion for all things Mediterranean, and the incredible citrus fruits that populate this region of the world, we very carefully looked through our available hops and tried to replicate those same citrus notes through our dry-hop bill. Packed to the nines by using a pyramid hop addition of Galaxy, Vic Secret and Enigma to impart, in our opinion anyway, all those orange, citron, and pomelo flavour characteristics that we love so much; this is a beer that we feel is pure sunshine trapped in a glass, to remind you to savour those warm, hazy evenings typical of this time of year.

Hopspot Logic -India Pale Ale 6.4%

Sometimes you've just got to take a look at your stockholding of hops, let your hair loose doing what you do best, and make an informed decision to go as tropical as possible. With a brief that read "Lying back on a lilo drinking an Atlantic Breeze", we've gone for a full on tropical explosion with Hopspot Logic. Employing a superstar three way lineup of the freshest El Dorado, Simcoe and Mosaic we could get our hands on, this beer is positively bursting with a metric tonne of pineapple, stone fruit, watermelon, mango and just a hint of bubblegum sweetness to boot. Offset by a smaller than usual addition of both El Dorado and Mosaic in the whirlpool at 2 and 5kg respectively, this beer maintains a whisper of bitterness to keep everything in check and balanced. 

Fuzz Generator - Pale Ale 5.7%

What do you do when you find a small glut of one of your favourite varietals hiding in the back of the cold store? You load a beer up with that badboy is what you do! Fuzz Generator is a beer with an express focus on creating all those sweet shop favourites we loved as we were growing up. Lead by a big boy addition of El Dorado, we've brought those huge jelly tot flavour notes right to the front of this beer in abundance. We weren't content to leave things just at that, so a gentler addition of Loral brings bright, punchy lemon drops to the party, before a final addition of Idaho 7 bringes orange sherbert to round this sweet shop fiesta off. With just a whisper of pithy bitterness and herbal complexity running through the background to keep everything in check and held back from falling into a sugar rush, we'd say this is mission accomplished.

Ode - India Pale Ale 6.9%

We often express how much we love to pay homage to the brewers of yesteryear here at Polly's, without whom we, or our contemporaries alike, would exist as we do. At the same time we love firmly expressing how much we love embracing our status as a very much modern brewery, producing the hop-forward styles so popular today. Ode is our literal address to old school and new school brewing, and our love of embracing the two in our beers. Chinook firmly represents the old school, being generously used in the whirlpool to impart delicious piney bitterness, Citra rocks up as the modern classic in the dry hop, bringing a wave of juicy citrus notes, and the future is handily dealt with by Bru-1 and it's incredible intense pineapple characteristics.
