Oliphant Ennui'd Mosaic Single Hop India Pale Ale

Oliphant Ennui'd Mosaic Single Hop India Pale Ale. India Pale Ale with Mosaic Hops. 

7.5 % ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI. 


Second in the Ennui'd Series, the first one with a label illustration that I can kind of understand. A blue-faced man is giving pancakes to an eyeball creature. That means something, but I cannot tell you what it is.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head. 

In the nose: Popping with bold citrus flavors. Orange and grapefruit and a bit of berries. Beautiful.

In the mouth: Crisp and clean. Moderate bitterness, never-ending hop flavors. Ridiculously easy-drinking, just a little juicy, and ending on a dry note. Absolutely delicious. This one is a nearly perfect IPA, and I wish we hadn't only gotten one case of these, and that it hadn't sold out so fast. We need more beers like this. Less milkshakes and NEs, please.
