355ml can - day 17 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. Apparently, what makes this blonde 'dirty', is some crystal malt. Meh.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves a bit of defrosting back windshield pattern lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some indistinct melon fruitiness, further red apple notes, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and very plain musty, leafy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, white wine must, more hard to parse melon fruity essences, and a still well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly tame in its insouciant-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and actually quite smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty character exhibiting the most lingering brio.

Overall - this comes across as one of the better versions of the typically banal style that I have recently encountered. I don't know how 'dirty' could be used to describe any part of this offering, as it is crisp and clean, and rather translucent. At any rate, it's good, and that's all that matters.
