Oliphant Lieutenant Daddy Double IPA, with Zythos, Mosaic, Wakatu and Galaxy hops. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, Wisconsin. 9.5% ABV.
There's a story about Lieutenant Daddy, who he is, how he came to be, why he has a beer named after him, and etcetera, and that story was told to me, but Hell if I remembered it. You'll just have to go to the taproom and have them tell it to you.
Now let's drink a beer:
Hazy, as is our current fad, dull amber hue, slimmish, off-whitish head.
In the nose: sharp and citric, lightly floral, lemon and orange and fresh forest floor.
In the mouth: Super-smooth, followed by bitter blast. Slick and sweet, swallowed up by the big-ass bitterness. Loads of lush texture. Delightfully bitter, gritty, fruity, complex and pretty damn yum.
Interesting. Delicious. Delightful. Again, yum. Wow. All that hoppin' is makin' me itch!
