Oliphant Mr. Samurai Karateguy India Pale Ale. 5.8% ABV. one pint can. Brewed by Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, Wisconsin (at Barley John's Brewing Company, New Richmond, WI.)
To the eye: Slightly hazy, bright golden hue, large, lush cloud-white head. Looking fantastic.
In the nose: big citrus aromatics, orange, tangerine, lemon/lime. Lovely. Not too bitter, not yet. Some pine, too. Just about right on the money.
In the mouth: Mmm. Bitter, hoppy, fruity, yes, delicious. Fresh, zesty, arresting. Flat out tasty. Medium bodied, long-lasting flavor, eternal finish. I want to say yum. I want to say damn, this is nice. Maybe I will. So smooth, so hoppy, so nice.
he may seem like an ordinary fry cook or chef, i don't know which one he is, but look closer at those hands...gasp! those aren't hands, they are karate swords!!!
