Parallel 49 Trifecta HopfenWeisse

A West Coast Hef?

It’s not a Hefeweizen. It’s not an IPA. But it’s definitely highly drinkable.

Parallel 49 brings you the Trifecta, named as a reference to the trio of hops on board.  As a hybrid beer, it’s not a typical German hef or hoppy IPA.

Both the flavour and aroma provide lots of stone fruit (apricot etc). There’s a tannic tea-like dryness along the lines of an Earl Grey beer.

We noticed sharper flavours than you’d normally associate with a hefeweizen. There was some bubblegum aroma, but sharper than normal in an astringent way. That will throw some drinkers off. But we agreed that we would definitely seek this beer out again.
