Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear burnished gold beer, very small and very short lived off white head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts that manage to be both grainy and overly creamy sweet. Hops bring cooling pine into a resinous ripe citrus, slightly marmalade and slightly bitter. Light finish. Right then, much work to be done. The hop aspect is decent, the malts aspect a disaster frankly.

31/8/2025. Can shared by Colin, cheers. Good pour. Aroma is piney, citrus, orange, pineapple, papaya, malt. Moderate sweetness, quite bitter which is good but borderline harsh. Medium body, average carbonation. Finish is boozy, ripe, bitter.

Can at home, from Craftcentral.ie, 30/07/2025.
Almost clear golden orange topped with a lasting off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter orange, pineapple, grass, grapefruit, papaya.
Taste comprises bitter orange, light astringency, grass, grapefruit, hint of pine, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come earthy hop bitterness allied to a mellow boast.
A little raw and basic for the style.
