Parallel 49 Bodhisattva American Wild Ale at 6% ABV (C$7.49 at Oak & Vine, 650 ml, packaged on 30-May-2017, acquired 3-Jul-2017, reviewed 7-Jul-2017)
Appearance: clear straw with one finger of dense white head, good retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: vinous white grape must, tropical fruit, floral, apples. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, minimal bitter. (6/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, crisp tart finish. (3/5)
Eh. OK, I guess. I particularly like the Motueka notes in the dry-hopping, bringing that ANZ white wine vinous character, but the plain old lacto sour is getting more than a little boring. Hardly transcendent. (13/20)
