Oliphant Brewing's 2spacedout 2facedtrout

Oliphant Brewing's 2phasedout 2facedtrout.
Peach, mango & jalapeño sour w/ lactose, vanilla, & sea salt.
 5 % ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Clear, yellowish, slim white head.

In the nose: Tart from the start, with spice and salt showing first, and fruit slowly unfolding. Sweetness of mango & peach softly billowing out.

In the mouth: Once again, the salt lands first on the palate, with the fruit flavors fast on the heels. Jalapeños, one of my most-hated legumes, isn't showing itself yet, which I'm perfectly fine with. No, wait, there's a trickle, just a touch. With each sip, the sweet, juicy flavors of the fruits comes first, and are dried out by the salt and the pepper. Lactose adds a creamy touch. I like it.

More and more, it seems that these guys have really got a handle on the fruited sour thing.

I suggest that when you drink this beer that you listen to this song:
Special bonus points if you can figure out why I picked this track.
