Over the years I have gone down to Ethiopia many times, partly to seek my roots but also to experience the wild nature that this incredible country has to offer. A memory that is particularly vivid to me was a time when I – in the middle of the dry savannah landscape – suddenly stumble into a patch of palm tree jungle within which an oasis was hidden. This is the place where the work with Omnipollo Fatamorgana takes off. Drawing inspiration from the fidelity of a Saison – rustic, alluringly cloudy and crisp – this double IPA (8%) was brewed using oats and wheat. Dry-hopped twice with Columbus, Centennial & Citra for maximum enjoyment. Henok (From the Omnipollo website)
Over the past weekend my local shop got some bombers of this new Omnipollo DIPA. A friend let me taste some, thankfully seeing as how they were priced at 16.50 a pop , and it was amazing. Had my first full pour last night on draft and I can honestly say it's easily in the top 3 IPA's I've had. Super unfiltered grapefruit bomb that is a strong contender against Heady or any other highly acclaimed DIPA in my opinion. Also, the draft was $7 for a 12-14oz pour which was a lot more reasonable.
