Parallel 49 Jerkface 9000 American Pale Wheat Ale at 5% ABV (C$2.95 at Sundance Wine Market, 473 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 28-May-2016, reviewed 28-May-2016)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thick cap, minimal patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, floral, tropical fruit, light grainy wheat. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (6/10) Medium-light body tending to watery, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry moderate bitter finish. (3/5)
Starts off pretty promising, with bright citrus and tropical hops on the nose. Those fade fairly rapidly, though, leaving behind the grainy and slightly tart wheat base. The carbonation fades a little rapidly as well, causing the already light body to feel a bit watery and thin in the finish. Decent enough thirst quencher with lunch. (13/20)
