TIPA - Flutter and Fade - Polly's - 10%

Having taken part in their renowned Patrons Project series of beers when Polly’s visited Leeds for Hop City two years ago, they were due a return leg and boy have they gone all out on Flutter & Fade. Influenced by Northern Monk’s own Tank Petrol series, they’ve amplified absolutely everything to the max on this beer – a triple IPA more than generously, almost stupidly hopped with 28g/l of El Dorado, Mosaic, Simcoe and Strata on the cold side, this beer is positively bursting at the seams with tropical mango, tangerine, blueberry, passionfruit and apricot notes, balanced by a hot side addition of Cascade to prevent things falling into cloyingly sweet territory. Insane.
