355ml can - day 5 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. A 'cranberry chili session ale with orange liqueur'. They say that it is a holiday dinner inspired brew, and they're not far off the mark, at least as far as my past family Christmas repasts have gone.
This beer pours a clear, bright salmon-tinged amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves a few instances of arc weld spark lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, earthy chili pepper, a faint red berry fruitiness, subtle orange zest, and some plain leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, cranberries, a faded chili spiciness, estery yeast, ephemeral orange rind, and more super-understated musty, herbal, and deal floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty weak in its ineffectual frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as there seems to be a none-too-subtle pithiness there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the malt kind of trying to shed all these warring interlopers.
Overall - yeah, too many cooks spoil the broth, as the old adage goes. The various guest ingredients basically just end up making for an incoherent mess, eventually not providing any discernible flavours, for the most part. I'd have to be an idiot to let this one string me along any further.
