Elani is a relatively new hop to us here at Polly’s, but its purported lineage is one that we find fascinating – discovered wild, and believed to have descended from open pollination from hop plants left by 19th century miners and loggers, this special variety has some grit and teeth to it, which is laying the foundations on Format Copy – an Extra Pale Ale that couldn’t be more Polly’s if it tried. Heavily influenced by a very early Polly’s XPA that set us into overdrive when we first brewed it, Format Copy is everything we love about hop-forward beer at a much more discernable ABV. Bringing bright and clean flavour notes of sweet orange zest, tangerine and white peach from the aforementioned Elani, we brought some partner hops to the party on this beer with further additions of NZ titan Motueka as well as Citra Lupomax to accentuate all those bold citrus notes.
