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.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and crisp, fading gently without astringency. A faint malty sweetness lingers briefly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.

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

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