Oliphant I Saw Trevor Crying In His Sleep Belgian Table Bier

Oliphant I Saw Trevor Crying In His Sleep Belgian Table Bier. 4.6 % ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Growler brought back from the brewery this past Sunday. Name is a twist on a title for a song by a favorite band of the brewery, referenced in many beers over the years. Like this one. 

Clear, bright golden color, short white head.

In the nose: Lightly hoppy, fruity, floral. Slight tartness. Belgian-esque funk.

In the mouth: Lean bodied and expertly consumable. Just as a table beer should be. Unfussy, simple, lightly flavored. Citrus and straw. Smallest amount of hops, virtually no bitterness, light in the malt department, too, but a distinct Belgian snap. Tiniest amount of tart, too, pleasant and satisfactory. Good beer for the "I don't like beer" person in the group.

Very nice interpretation of this under-utilized style. And there is but one song that should accompany it's consumption:

i saw trevor crying in his sleep

it happens when you spend all evening listen to synthesizer music.
