Parallel is a hop-forward beer series inspired by a unique connection: Yakima in the US and Nelson in New Zealand, two iconic growing regions that sit on opposite sides of the world yet share the same 42 degree latitude North and South.
The final chapter, a bold, juicy, full throttle showcase of all four hops in harmony. We've used the freshest hops we can get our hands on plus plenty of the latest hop products on the market to create this fully saturated double IPA. We're tasting layered notes of mango kulfi, lychee, crushed gooseberries and a slightly resinous finish.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 28/09/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a lasting white crown.
Nose is mellow tropicana, grass, mandarin, grapefruit whisper.
Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit, pine nibble, grass, soft malts, papaya, mandarin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Tidy enough DIPA ... just wish the advertised Nelson shone a little more.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft pine. A fairly sweet citrus, tangerine, mandarin, trace of stone fruits and tropical fruits. Light finish. Too sweet for me but I am getting some pleasure from the juicy hop fruits.
