PUTTY TIME
Since the inaugural successful launch at Hop City in 2017, Putty has been an annual release in January, they've stuck to the original recipe for this Double IPA. It features a malt base of Golden Promise, a higher-than-normal proportion of wheat malt, along with generous amounts of oats and flaked wheat to provide a well-rounded flavor. The water profile is delicately soft, with substantial whirlpool additions of Galaxy, Mosaic, and Azacca hops. This is followed by an extensive dry hop, with equal parts Mosaic/Galaxy and slightly less Azacca. We recommend leaving the beer for a few weeks to allow for the greeness / hop burn to fade, or buy two, one for now and one for later. There is limited supply on this as ever, we are launching it online Thursday when the lorry arrives for delivery to you Friday. Alternatively you can buy it from our York store on Friday or on tap in our pubs. POLLYS
