Oliphant Zwub Zwub Hazy Double IPA brewed with Citra hops

Wait, ...is the seven-eyed Josh-Jabba using his/it's beard to funnel
crap down it's gullet? Um....cool.
Oliphant Zwub Zwub Hazy Double IPA brewed with Citra hops.
10 % ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Some time ago, I swear I heard Jeremy say that he was going to cease using Josh as his muse on the Oliphant labels. No, no, I insisted, you can't stop, keep it up, I cried. And so now we have poor ol' Joshie as Jabba the freakin' Hutt. Zwub Zwub, indeed.

Lightly hazed. Bright golden hue. Big ivory froth atop.

In the nose: Nicely hopped. Bold citrus. Popping with lemon, grapefruit, orange, and a taste of the tropical, too.

In the mouth: Juicy, hoppy deliciousness. Even-tempered bitter smack on the palate. Beautiful bitterness meets fruity phantasmagoria, and ever-shifting landscape of fruity/juicy associations. At turns sweet and bitter, but ending on dry. Medium bodied, and easy drinking for the hopheads. Right on the money. Damn, if this ain't a tasty one. I'd even go so far as Yum, a Dum, Dum.

There should be one song you listen to while drinking this beer, and it is not called "Jedi Rocks":


Lapti Nek, lapti nek!
