Omnipollo. They really haven't had a great run. I'm not even entirely sure what prompted me to pick this one up, but maybe I will attribute it to their interesting and bizarre labeling. Every time I look at one of these I think, "there is a brewery that is thinking outside the box and really has a lot of imagination. I'm sure there beer will be wildly different in quality and ingredients, but this is the kind of outside the box thinking that leads to brilliance, right?" And then I bring home the beer and try it and it's not particularly good.
The relatively clear golden beer produces what seems to be a proper amount of head, and that head boils down to an uneven but complete layer of small and medium bubbles across the top of the beer with the strong ring around the sides. There's no lacing to be had, but I guess I deal with what is in front of me. The aroma is sweet peaches, tangerine rinds, and a little bit of honey.First sip is not spectacular. This beer is not going to win them any awards or even find itself in my fridge again. The peach is partnered with an increase in acidity (possibly coming from the lactose sugars that have been included for sweetness), and the sum total of all of the sensations and flavors is that of murky seltzer water that wants to be something better than it is. Coincidentally, I also want it to be better than it is.
Tip-in is a concerning amount of carbonation burn with peach and sweetness at the ready. The middle sloshes in with a rise of acidity with the carbonation burn turning the landscape into hellfire with peach fuzz and citrus rinds scattered about the landscape. The finish becomes dry as the carbonation vanishes completely and the peach with honey sweetness apologizes as it goes into the trail off.
Bottom Line: I may stop getting beers from them entirely.
1.25/5
