14oz, happy hour glass during the latest Parallel 49 tap takeover at the Common in downtown Edmonton. A spiced-up Saison, from the sounds of it.
This beer appears clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent thin wall of sudsy lace around the glass as things slowly recede.
It smells of grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser crackery wheatiness, muddled earthy spice, dusty powdered dill, a hint of musty yeastiness, and some tame leafy, citrusy, and herbal hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, faint rosemary, some other hard to parse earthy herbaceousness, diluted pickle juice (Pickle Rick!!!!), faded estery yeast, and more well understated herbal, weedy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of herbal acridity taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and lingering spices playfully sparring unto the end.
Overall - this is a genial enough tête-à-tête, with the spices (plant extracts) and malt (barley derivative) maintaining a balanced approach to the whole deal. That said, almost any beer could be referred to as 'Plants vs Barley', given that hops are a plant, right?
