Whirl Domination

Tap to rate

The first IPA brewed in To Øl's new brewhouse in Svinninge, so the brewers wanted to see what the new kit could do: they pushed the hops to the limit and packed in as much aroma as possible. Barley, wheat and oats make up the base. The name marks the start of what the brewery calls a new era of hoppy world domination.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Whirl Domination

◎ Appearance

Light amber to pale golden color with excellent clarity. A dense, cream-colored head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, demonstrating strong foam stability. The carbonation is lively and visible, with fine bubbles rising steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by assertive hop aromatics—resinous pine and herbaceous notes blend with bright citrus and subtle tropical fruit notes suggesting mango and passionfruit. A clean malt backbone provides gentle biscuit sweetness and a light grain character, with wheat contributing soft cereal notes. No yeast-derived funkiness; the character is fresh and direct.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and slightly viscous, with grain-forward malt sweetness balanced by immediate hop bitterness. The mid-palate shows layered hop character—pine resin, herbal spice, and citrus zest—supported by wheat and oat providing soft, almost creamy texture. Bitterness builds progressively but remains integrated, finishing with a dry, lingering hop bite at moderate intensity.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with resinous hop notes extending into a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste. A whisper of malt sweetness fades slowly, leaving the palate crisp and ready for another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
