Oliphant Splendid Squishy Sour Ale

Back in September, I told you about Super Squishy, the Blackberry Raspberry sour ale. Well, now we have Splendid Squishy, which is not explicitly named after a Simpsons reference. There is something about a witch and a 3-eyed cat which may come from somewhere, and maybe someday, I'll know.


Oliphant Splendid Squishy Sour Ale.
w/ lactose, pineapple, ras/lem, vanilla, sea salt.
5.6 % ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Berry red color. Slim white head.

In the nose: More fruity than sour, at the start. Full of the berries and lemon, with those ingredients off the side. I'm picking up some pineapple. Vanilla, lactose, and sea salt, are these the new magical ingredients? We'll find out...

In the mouth: Here comes the juicy, salt on the side. Smooth and slightly creamy. Stays clear of being either too sweet or too sour. Pineapple's not dropping, the raspberry's in charge. All these ingredients are doing something in harmony, here, and in balance. That's the story of the Splendid Squishy.

This is tasty and beautiful stuff, indeed.

glendid the good witch descended upon our quaint village with three demands. i interrupted her and asked, “aren’t you supposed to grant us our demands?” she raised her wooden harold potter’s twig at me and said “that is a genie, i am a witch, and a good witch at that.” the next thing i know, i’m a large three-eyed cat. sweet!
