Parallax is a seasonal summer ale with a refreshing and brilliantly crisp profile. An effortless session beer brewed with British pilsner malt, Spring malt, wheat, and spelt malts & hopped with an array of juicy citrus expressions from Horizon, Loral, & Wai-iti. The aromatics blend of crisp citrus with fresh peaches and apricot with a nice centering herbal zest.

Can from Westmere Beverage, Albany. Hazy, pale yellow, lots of dark floaties, tons of sparkle, massive frothy head, ugly soapy lacing with brown clumps. Aroma is pine, tart citrus, white bread. Taste follows aroma along with dank pineapple rind. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Strong aroma and flavor, not altogether pleasant. So much product at this store is elderly, hard to know how fresh, and representative this is. But, no born on/best by date so who knows?

Taste comprises melon, mixed citric peel, grass, herb, citric tinged straw, orange peel. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. Okay.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Almost clear dark gold beer, good bubbly cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Sweetish malts, a little caramel. Smooth pine. Mild piney fruits. Light semi dry finish shows more caramel and pine. Fine, a little uninteresting.
