341ml bottle - day 6 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. This is apparently a cousin to the Salty Scot, presumably because, well, there's no salt?
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some stellar crookedly webbed lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, stewed red apples, a hint of biscuity toffee, some wispy smokiness, and very subtle earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, toffee pudding, a muddled and bruised pome fruitiness, faint wet char, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt and lingering frooty esters the order of the day.
Overall - this comes across as a competently rendered version of the style, good and malty, without becoming too sweet, and with a nice dose of ethereal smoky notes. Not to mention the extra 2 and a half points of the ol' wowee sauce, which I cannot detect in the least. Not yet, anyway.
