Polly’s Brew Co. – Turning Fragile [13% QIPA]

Description

Quadruple IPA’s have always been a rarity in Polly’s output; a style so strong, and so heavily hopped that they keep it back to preserve its mystique. With the advent of Spring being upon us, they felt there was no better reason to go back to this ultra-challenging style and Turning Fragile is the end result.

With a beer this big, you need some serious balance, so a big addition of foundation hop Columbus is needed – touching a g/l in the whirlpool alone not too far away from the total g/l of some of their lower strength pale ales; a solid foundation needs some stupidity on the cold side, so why not go with a huge addition of hyper-concentrated Mosaic Lupomax, along with everyone’s favourite hype hop Nectaron? A beer absolutely saturated in flavour – big passionfruit, pineapple, peach, tangerine and blueberry notes play off a bubblegum sweetness in this all out show of sheer alchemy from their brew team.
