3 - Indifferent (might buy, probably drink), Beer Reviews, IPA - Session, Omnipollo, Sweden

Omnipollo Tobias

Leave a comment

Brewery: Omnipollo
Country: Sweden
ABV: 4.3%
Style: American Session IPA
Other Notes: Brewed by Omnipollo at De Proef Brouwerij (Belgium)

Brewer Description: (from website) We found Tobias through a beer that he brewed for a Mikkeller hop bomb challenge. He came in second place and we got a bottle which we really liked. And then we did a home brew together! Since then we work together and Tobias is Karls right hand man. This beer is a celebration of all things Tobias. Tobias is a pale ale that is lower in ABV but fully packed with character.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.76
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.6

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date that’s not legible anymore. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Light mango with lots of citrus grapefruit and lemon peel and rind with maybe a touch of grass.
Taste: A little weak, but light malt, grass, grapefruit, citrus zest and rind, lemon peel, lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Somewhat crisp, light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Flavours were slightly on the weak side, but what comes through is not bad at all.
