Oliphant Crom! Pale Ale with Zythos Hops

Oliphant Crom! Pale ale with Zythos. 6% ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Hazy, amber/golden color, slim white head, leaving lace.

In the nose: Citrus hops notes take a back seat to a taste of the tropical. Low bitterness.

In the mouth: Crisp, smooth and refreshing. Medium body, with an herbal hop character on the palate. Earthy, grassy, citrus notes add to complexity.  A different take on a pale ale, with a bit of a rare hop. I've heard of Zythos, had it in a few ales, but haven't come across it too often.

As every fan of pulp literature knows, Crom! is the
deity worshipped by Conan in the works of
Robert E. Howard. And probably Conan
O'Brien, too, as I'm sure Jeremy has researched.
He wouldn't just make that up.

By Crom, I enjoyed draining the contents of this crowler!
