355ml can - day 21 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. A 'Salted Caramel Coconut Ale'.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly fizzy tan head, which leaves a bit of blotchy snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of coconut milk, gritty and grainy caramel malt, muddled pome fruity notes, and some ethereal earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, fading copra flesh, a weak salinity, more crushed apples and pears, and some very understated leafy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a generally good time at this particular juncture. It finishes pretty off-dry, with the watery malt and waning frooty essences limping lamely out the side door.
Overall - yeah, both the coconut and salt additions punch out kind of early in this offering, leaving a simple malty ale in their wake. I could sure use a whole lot more hop offset here, as I am starting to contemplate considering going and getting my tongue scraper.
