355ml can - day 3 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. A Spiced Apple Honey Saison.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent land bridge profile lace around the glass as it slowly but surely sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, cinnamon-spiced apples, some earthy yeastiness, and ephemeral leafy, floral, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is indistinctly spiced apple, grainy and crackery pale malt, honeyed biscuits, fading estery yeast, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, as those spiced notes seem a little testy at this particular point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the spice notes predominating.
Overall - there's a lot going on with this offering, and it more or less works out. It seems as though the honey works in the background, keeping things from going off of the mulled cider rails. I'm not privy to a fireplace at the moment, but there's a foot of fresh snow outside, and this will help encourage me to go out and shovel it.
