341ml bottle - day 20 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. A spiced Saison, with a sort of overwrought name for something coming in at a sub-par ABV.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden orange colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some random splotchy lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, estery florals, some indistinct earthy spiciness, musty yeast, and some plain leafy, herbal, and weedy green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, hibiscus flowers, some curry-friendly spice, more edgy yeasty notes, and some plain earthy,musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the floral character directing the lingering traffic.
Overall - as mentioned earlier, this hardly seems worthy of its heady moniker, as floral and spicy essences in a Saison are not exactly uncommon. That said, it is a pleasant enough break from the bigger brews (that everyone always initially bemoans the lack of) that we've been wading through from these Advent offerings of late.
