Colour Static
A pale ale brighter than Polly's usual: no hiding behind hops, everything has to balance. Zumo from the US, the neo-noble hop Lorien and Mosaic as the house constant make for a crisp, clean and highly refreshing beer. At 4.5 percent, brewed for International Beer Day — and the last beer their brewer Joe made after five years at the brewery.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Colour Static
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
