440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a murky yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, fresh, juicy melon acidic grapefruit, dry pepper spice hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 14/09/2025.
Hazed orange topped with an off white that thins to a swirl.
Nose is orange zest, airy malts, grass, melon.
Taste comprises bitte orange, spike of grapefruit, citric tinged straw, melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying spiked with balanced juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Tidy enough pale.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, forward creamy sweetness but not overcooked. Superdelic immediately obvious with it's red berry and candy elements, some tropical fruits as well. Amarillo underneath, some slightly floral orangey citrus. Maybe a little Nelson on the back end if you look hard. Modern Mosaic is lost on me here. A decent pinch of hop spice on the finale and pine that reminds you that it has been here all along. Nice punchy pale ale from Phantom.
