Parallel 49 / 49th State Brewing Company Brews Brothers Gettin’ It: Farmhouse of the North Saison at 7% ABV (C$6.00 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 650 ml, bottle date 28-Feb-2017, acquired 10-Mar-2017, reviewed 13-Mar-2017)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of rocky white head, good retention and well-defined lacing. (4/5) Aroma: bready yeast, fruity esters, wet cardboard, coriander, hint of white pepper. (6/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, mildly warming and spicy bitter finish. (3/5)
Dunno what makes this a Farmhouse, to be honest – it’s a bit of a mishmash of vague fruit and doughy, bready yeast. No real clear direction or style here. Aside from the warming spicy finish, it’s pretty unexciting. (12/20)
