Pours a hazy light orange with thick head.

Smell is juicy, sweet and ank with notes of melon, vanilla, orange juice and peach.

Taste is juicy, sweet and intense. Dank with notes of melon, orange juice and peach. Soft but distinct bitterness and some booze on the finish.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice, powerful DIPA.

 

Like a little treasure for the tastebuds, Omnipollo fully embraces the haze and creates a voluminous, creamy and smoothly hoppy ale chocked with a plethora of gems in taste.

Pouring a super cloudy golden-straw appearance, Perla floats a rich eggshell meringue and a host of tropical, citrus, herb, melon and orchard fruits. Before the fruit cocktail hits the palate, the session first soothes the senses with a doughy malty foundation of poundcake, cereal and honey.

Before the cereal grains have a chance to relax, the abundance of hops bring tropical flavors of passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, mango and guava before a more citrusy zing of orange, white grapefruit and lime. Even more flavors of grape, honeydew and gooseberry carry threads of subtlety ahead of a smoothly bitter finish of cedar, hemp, verbena and peppery tea leaf.

Full bodied, creamy and smooth throughout, the ale falls on the sweeter side of bitter-sweet and on the malty side of malty-dry for a fuller taste of hops and a bready sweet support with a final warmth of gin botanicals.

An experience and in my first having of it, it arrives as a contender for an all time hazy double ipa. Made in an old church in Sweden by some big hearted geniuses.

Almost looks like mango or cantaloupe juice. Glowing golden orange with glints of almost faint pinks and reds. Superfine fluffy head zips up half an inch, then leaves a quarter of that as a sturdy lasting cap.. unusual lace caligraphy down the top of the glass from the gorgeous floofy superfine foam. So gorgeous lol god damn! Cmon now. Orange creamsicle, lime, cilantro and faint strawberry aromas exuding.

Clean, disciplined malt comes underneath sturdily, restrained but full and delicious. Some wheat and oat possibly. Chewy and resiny and rich but so so clean.. Really a highlight.

Nose is tropical and floral hop blast. Just gorgeous peach orange guava, fascinating bitter hop zips and vegetal notes blended in, with accents of rose and even rosemary, all within balance. Exquisite riff on old hop juice profile. Super delicate and clean, massive finish of dewey mossy pine forest, lovely allium and weedy notes very subtly orbiting in, kinda mosaic-y, but perhaps just tons of like citra and el dorado or something?? cryo? Would love to know lol. Nice and bitter mid palate and ends super fruity into crispy and dry and again an endless finish. Lovely.

The yeast is doing something special here. What an exceptionally delicious beer! Thx fam
