Omniverse is a dry-hopped American India Pale Ale. Pale, Pils, Caramel, and Vienna Malts are accompanied by Flaked Oats to establish a dry but full palate. A host of American hops including Columbus, Centennial and Amarillo dominate the kettle, while Citra, Idaho 7 and Vic Secret combine to make up a massive dry-hop addition. Extremely juicy, tropical, and pungent.

The good and the needs improvement.

Excellent pour: golden color with a 4F head in a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Excellent aroma: peach, citrus.
Needs improvement: the fruit in the taste is dwarfed by the bitterness in the finish.
This was a problem pre NEIPA with some IPAs. So the smoothness is not there.

A smoother, less bitter finish would bring out the taste profile much more.
A recipe tweak is in order.

Pours a dirty murky orangeish. This beer does not get by in its look. Smells of citrus but also has a dank skunky hop aroma to it as well. It's citrusy - orange and grapefruit peel - with some peppery resiny textural elements. This is a snappy IPA.

Cloudy gold color. Excellent blanketing lacing from a solid, lasting head.

Fresh crushed hop smell. A bit piney with green cut grass aroma.

The flavor is strongly bitter which starts with the first sip. I don't get the tropical fruit as advertised, the bitterness is too strong. Good body with a neutral effervescence. Long lingering aftertaste as one would expect. Dry finish.

On-tap at The Tip Tap Room, Boston, MA

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high finger high off white head that consistently left a very thick coating of bubbles on the surface and down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of juicy hops—orange citrus and passionfruit—are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of passionfruit along with notes of orange citrus. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It is a little crisp.
O: This beer has a nice complexity of tropical flavors in the taste.

Serving type: on-tap

From a 32oz growler, filled at the brewery yesterday. Served in a tulip.

Pours a barely hazed, translucent deep golden colour with a beautiful finger-and-a-half of thick and frothy, whipped cream head. Retention is pretty good and leaves moderately heavy sticky clumps of lacing.

Nose is clean and fresh, like laundry hung out on the line. I don't know how else to describe it and I'm not sure what I'm smelling, maybe lemon and baking soda. Really different, very nice aroma.

Taste is a smooth blend of bitter and sweet notes. Lemonade and cedar, lime and caramel, grapefruit, greenhouse flowers and a little spice. Hard up against the dry end of the juicy spectrum, with a long, mellow, pine-and-pineapple bitter finish.

Feel is soft and clean, a medium bodied, well carbonated, easy-drinking brew.

Overall, a terrific IPA. Well worth seeking out.

Went to Honest Weight and bought a growler. Beer poured clear straw yellow with a bubbly head that dissipates relatively quickly. Very light piney aroma wrapped around a nice grapefruit smell. Taste generally follows the nose but it's mostly the grapefruit flavor. Mouthfeel feels a bit low with a light carbonation and texture. Overall, not bad; really liked the aromas.

Thanks for sharing Naws.

A- Growler to pint glass pour with a mostly clear golden orange body. A small foamy head rises up to just a finger with pretty good retention. A small ring drops a few webs of lace.

S- Delicate tropical fruits off the top joined by a balancing presence of pale cereal grains, yeast bread, cracker and a distinct spiciness from the yeast. Mango and tangerine come to mind.

T- As with the aroma the word delicate comes to mind but that does not mean there is any lack of flavor. There just isn't much aggression. Mango leads the way followed by peach, guava, melon, tangerine, grapefruit rind and floral hop hints. Again the yeast is very distinct with a spicy base. Slight sweetness and pale freshly mashed barley.

MF- Creamy and frothy texture to a medium thick body. High end carbonation but all is so smooth. Ends with a gripping grapefruit-esque bitterness.

Fruity tropical, melon and citrus hops play well with a strong but balanced in yeast spiciness.

Poured from a growler that was filled yesterday.
Light amber and nearly clear. Not much of a head.
Nose is fruity.
Tastes of melon, tangerine and maybe a little pineapple with contributing malt sweetness. Light floral notes.
Restrained IBUs /CO2 over varied malts make for a soft creamy mouthfeel.
Very pleasant and easy to drink.
