Oliphant The Little Razgul Raspberry Wheat Ale. 6% ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.
Here's how they think in Oliphant land: Hmmm. Raspberry. Razz. Rhymes with Nazz. No, not Todd Rundgren's old band, but the Nazgul, aka the Ringwraiths, the dark servants of Lord Sauron, etc. So, yeah, imagine them as little folk, little red evil creatures. Little red raspberry dudes. Or something like that...That's how it goes.
Clouded, berry red, slim white head.
In the nose: nice and fruity, little bit o' sweet, touch of tart.
In the mouth: More fruity, more tart (but not too much more), super smooth. Good wheat malt texture. Easy going, highly drinkable. Tasty stuff. I'm enjoying it.
Raspberry wheats...they're good, if simple, lacking complexity, la, la, la, whatever. They're just good. Go right ahead and drink them.
