Parallel 49 Heliphant – Session IPA at 4.5% ABV (C$3.25 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 23-May-2023, acquired 4-Jul-2023, reviewed 8-Jul-2023)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with a short, short-lived white head, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body tending slightly light, moderate-soft carbonation, short duration off-dry finish. (4/5)
Decent enough, I guess. Crushable and reasonably juicy without being excessively sweet. Not exactly crisp and clean enough to be what I consider “refreshing”, but not far off, and slightly above average for my experience (for n=61, μ=6.7 & σ=0.92) with this near-macro brewery. (14/20)
This will be my 5,599th unique Untappd check-in.
7/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
