The Hop Studio – Vic Secret IPA 6.5%

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. Australian superstar hop Vic Secret is no stranger to the team here at Polly’s – as a varietal typical of those South Pacific hops high in oils and alpha acids, we find this brings the absolute best of both worlds to a single hop IPA. Check off the usual Polly’s prominent pineapple and tropical fruit notes, but backed up with a wonderful pine and herb complexity that brings everything into complete balance. Wanting to utilise those hop oils to our advantage, we felt there was nothing but a big, bold and brash IPA that this hop could be better showcased in and the results speak for themselves.
