Oliphant Blueberry Anutart Sour Ale. 5% ABV.
Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.
Another curious label. A morose emo tooth broods inside a mouth, greeted by a friendly manta ray and a moth. Sure. Okay. Whatever.
Bold crimson color, utterly opaque, slim pinkish head. Looking very lovely.
In the nose: Bright berries, nice and tart. Fruity and mellow. More tart than sour at first, until...whoa, there it is. Gets tarter and tarter as we go. Altogether, very enjoyable.
I didn't have too much more to say about this one, so I went looking for other opinions. I've done this before, also with an Oliphant beer, where I search certain corners of the internet for other opinions. And the thing of it is, Untappd is not a place where I do any writing. Only the slightest bit, actually, for it all happens here. People are always asking me "So? What do you think?" and I want to say, "I already told you, go read the Nib!"
So, what do the kind of people who do write comments in Untappd say?
Well, they're mostly positive, of the few reviewers who said anything. But, hats off to Michael J. who points out that the color of the foam matches that of the pink in the gums of Jeremy's label painting. Nice work, Mike, I never would have caught that! Another testament to the brilliance of Hughes.
(Eh? See what I did there?)
