Oliphant Sound of the Fart Side Citra Pale Ale

Oliphant Sound of the Fart Side. Pale Ale. 5 % ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Man, I'm not into these "fart" puns, you guys. You can do better, I know it. The anthropomorphic assholes? Sheeesh.

Anyway, on with the beer.

Clouded, pale amber hue, thick white head, soon to settle.

In the nose:Fresh, full-on citrus notes going on. Nothin' but, and it's all that you need.

In the mouth: Light bodied, crisp, clean and refreshing. Nice bitter bite up front, then falling off. Citrus fruit flavor from the hops dances on the palate, keep the tongue happy. Straight up deliciousness. Just a good old pale ale with Citra hops, just the way I like it. Yum, a dum, dum.
I'm gonna drink this crowler down, and that will be that.

I am providing two videos below. One is of one of my favorite musicians performing a song he composed for an animated "Far Side" TV special and has since turned it into a beloved ballad. That is Bill Frisell. And "Egg Radio." (Look at Bill's guitar. Is this the one that Gary Larson made for him?, as the story goes.)
The other tells the tale of the "Far Side"'s time on television. Forgive the narrator for saying Bill's last name wrong, or even Larson's first (did he really call him "Larry"? once?) Isn't there anything better out there? No? Really? Come on.
