Easily our favourite thing about the last year at Polly’s is discovering and refining Oat Cream IPAs into our output. A style that started as an experiment in our taproom Polly’s Social has developed into a full blown hype machine and fans of our beers clamour for the next release each time we drop them. With Luxe, we wanted to intentionally accentuate that creaminess with the hops we used, hence the introduction of Sabro and Cashmere to the cold side – both bringing those incredibly unique coconut vibes in abundance, with bold juicy flavours of peach, tangerine and pineapple to boot. We’re incredibly conscious of balance when it comes to these beers though – veer too much into the sweet territory and the beer becomes cloying and too much, so we’ve levelled Luxe out with a generous helping of NZ titan Motueka to impart some zippy lime and slight herbal notes. A delightfully decadent and delicious beer, and a step further on in our Oat Cream game.
