Parlay

Tap to rate

Parlay is a light hazy IPA at 4.5 percent, brewed with two-row, white wheat and rolled oats and hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, Citra and Chinook. The brewery describes bright citrus and soft tropical notes, with Chinook adding a subtle pine edge. Orange, grapefruit and a touch of mango come through first, followed by a faint floral note. Oats and wheat give a fuller, plush body than the strength suggests, and the bitterness is low.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Parlay

◎ Appearance

Parlay presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, turbid character that catches light beautifully. The white head forms readily and maintains moderate retention with fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, giving the beer visual liveliness despite its modest strength.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—orange zest and grapefruit pith dominate the top notes. Soft tropical undertones of mango weave through the middle, while a faint floral character adds complexity. A subtle piney edge from Chinook emerges on the finish, grounding the otherwise bright and fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Orange and grapefruit lead the palate with clean, refreshing acidity. The mid-palate reveals that promised tropical mango alongside a soft, almost silky mouthfeel—the oats and white wheat deliver a plush body that belies the 4.5% ABV. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing fruit and grain to shine without harsh edges.

Serve at 7–10°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
