Small Realms
Small Realms strips a full-strength IPA down to sessionable scale: clean notes of lemon, pine and grapefruit open the glass, then a wave of juicy mango, candied orange and stone fruit takes over—the typical Polly's juice character that defines the house. At 2.5 percent, it crushes easy, the kind of beer you pour and pour again while good company keeps the evening going. No heavy finish to slow you down, just drinkable brightness that rewards another round.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
