Oliphant Two Headed Dracula Weed West Coast Double IPA.
9% ABV, Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, Wisconsin.
Thoroughly opaque….opaque-ier than I like…bright orange-ish hue, strong & lasting snowy white head.
In the nose: dank, fruity, full. Stone, with a slice of citrus. Powerfully pungent.
In the mouth: big and beefy. Overwhelmedly hoppy and bitter, rolled up in citrus and dank. Oooo, lord! Big sticky-icky bitterness that dominates the palate. And I am digging it, rich and ridiculously rewarding. This is firmly and securely one of my favorite takes on this style. (Although some clarity would have made it even more epic.)
West Coast Double IPA. Double the fear, double the taste, double the thrill. This does NOT suck...or does it? Pull up those covers when you turn in this evening!
