It’s Flora – India Pale Ale 6.0%

We don’t know if it was a deliberate thing initially, but flowers have very much become a recurring motif here at Polly’s. Whether it was the artwork on that Loka Polly Galaxy Mosaic IPA can that set rumbles off for us all those years ago, to our headline beer Rosa as it launched our Augment range back in 2019, all the way up to present day with our most popular beer bar none, Floret from our core range, we’ve always gone back to this recurring theme within our beers and beer naming. A distant cousin to Rosa, It’s Flora utilises well over 50% of Rosa’s hop bill, before swapping its New World hop varietal from Galaxy to Nelson Sauvin. Dialled back to a robust, punchy IPA, we absolutely love the depth of flavour that the trio of Citra, Simcoe and Ekuanot bring to this beer; imparting all manner of fresh citrus fruits, with stonefruit sweetness, peach, and mango abound, offset with a herbal savoury notes to balance, before Nelson storms in with those incredible distinctive gooseberry notes to finish. Incredible.
