On tap at Parallel 49. Pours a clear amber. Bready malts on the nose. Flavour has a stale malt character, some dry gras drifting. What's the point of this?

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours s hazy yellow-blonde. Lots of tangy hops on the nose, some berries, pine, resins. Flavour has dry resins, pine, some old berry character. It's good, but the nose promised more than the palate.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours a clear yellow-blonde. Light tropical fruit and coconut on the nose. Flavour has a light acidity, some coconut. Very little character, what's the point.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma has some bready malt, not a whole lot else. Flavour is pretty dull, with soft bready malt, and not much else to speak of. Little hop content, little character. Very boring and underwhelming even for the style.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose is very fruity, with plenty of melon, gentle tropical fruits, and subdued citrusy hops. Flavour has notes of guava, yuzu, mild citrusy hops, and green melon. Not very evocative hop expression, with little bitterness. Bit vegetal as well. Okay.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of saline, lacto, citric acid, and I guess something resembling tequila. Flavour seems more like a (mediocre) gose, with lots of saline, citric acid, low-quality tequila, and lime. Finishes with lots of lime and saline. Not too badly done for what it is.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma reveals unmistakeable English bready malt, a very tepid hop profile, and some fungal notes. Flavour is much the same, with big English bready malt, lots of fungal notes, and very little gops. Remind me of a non-cask version of an English bitter. Pleasant but, as per the style, unexciting.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose is completely muddled, with tons of chalk, light hopburn, just totally incoherent nonsense. Flavour is no better, revealing yeast soup, hopburn, chalk galore, and earthiness. Extremely muddled and incoherent. Totally incompetent.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of tangy hops—must be the Krush and Nelson—along with light grassiness and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly bright, with a nice tangy, melony hop expression, and a dry biscuity base. Nice hop blend. One of P49’s best hoppy beers in a while.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks fiulijn). Hazed blonde gold with white head. Mild citrus hops, hint of stone fruit, a little boozy (at 5.6%?), average.
