Chinook is vastly underrated as a hop varietal these days. One of the big daddies of the craft brewing revolution; its piney and resinous characteristics sing to the moon and back all things old school. We wanted to pay homage to the beers we grew up drinking, whilst retaining that characteristic Polly’s new school haziness.
With a new school fruit salad of pear, watermelon and stone fruits mellowing out the old school bitterness, this is a beer that celebrates heritage whilst keeping its eyes firmly fixed on the present.

Copenhagen 25/9 2019. 44 cl can from Mikkeller Webshop. Dark can with colored spots in red, orange and white reminding me of a rainy winter afternoon.
Pours hazy, golden yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles ad thin, almost transparent layer of foam just managing to cover the surface of the beer. Very moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense, freshly fruity sweet and with notable citric notes. Peach, mango and Pineapple. Orange and Citrus.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by a stronger, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is dry. Fresh sweet exotic fruit meeting strong acerbic citrus fruit ending bone dry.
Who can complain?
