Oliphant Cats Cats Cats Cats !!! West Coast Double IPA.
10 % ABV (shouldn't they be naming this a "triple IPA", as is the style of the day?), Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.
Back in October of 2017, I had a beer from Oliphant with this exact same name, but it was not this exact same beer. It was a mere single IPA. When it was released in cans not very long ago, it was renamed Cats Cats!, so they could produced a double IPA with this name. I've said this before, but why not name this one Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats!!!!!!!!???
Clear, bright golden hue, large and luminous ivory head capping it off.
In the nose: Big citrus, orange, grapefruit, lemon, with a side of pine. Some tropical notes come through, too, a touch of passionfruit and pineapple.
In the mouth: Once on the palate, the barrage begins. Deep, and dank, rich with happiness, full of floral and bitter. More delicious citrus and pine hop flavors spreading all over the avenues of the senses. A little bit of sweet, and a good deal of bitter, tons of tasty. Medium bodied, long, bitter finish. And the high alcohol is slowly rising up and conquering the consciousness.
Ah, this is my kind of double IPA. No hazy. No fruit. No lactose or sea salt. No marshmallow. Nothing messed up, no bullshit. And I'm digging it big-time. This one's got the goods.
West coast-style DIPA brewed w/ Cascade, Centennial, Columbus and Chinook hops.
