Oliphant Dracula Weed West Coast IPA. With Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe and Warrior hops.
6% ABV, Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.
Mostly clear, with a light haze, bright golden/orange hue, stable layer of ivory head.
In the nose: orange and tangerine,,grapefruit and lemon, citrus aplenty. Traces of pine behind.
In the mouth: powerfully pungent, dank & funky on the palate. Jolt of bitterness on first swallow, then fading back and resting, laying long into the finish. A hoppy banquet, a feast for those who hunger the bitter bite, the wild herbal spray, and a bit of the juicy drip. Ending positively dry and nearly brittle, this shows that the folks at Oliphant know their stuff.
This is one of the good ol’ good ones. Hope they make it again real soon.
