Oliphant Smoked Wheat Erry Day

Smoked Wheat Erryday. Smoked hefe weizen with pineapple.
4.9% ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Clear, amber hue, small white head.

In the nose: Getting the hefe yeast notes, the banana and the touch of clove, with the smoke coming on. Smoked malt, getting smokier. Nice.

In the mouth: There's the smoke, there's the wheat, but...what? Pineapple? Huh. Yeah, that's here, too. Smoked banana and pineapple, too. Light bodied, easy drinker. Plenty of interesting, while still palatable flavors.

 Why not make a smoked wheat, why not call it Smoked Wheat Erry Day (because, you know, Snoop Dogg, right?), and then pineapple? Got to be something else there. You tell me. I meant it, you tell, 'cause I don't know.

Who cares, it works.

Here's how Smoked Wheat Erryday looks like in 2019:
