Panda thanks to Wingman. Very hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head, doesn't last. A smooth, mildly dry and very slightly viscous palate, decent fine carbonation emerging late on. Smooth pale malts, a light tasting but thick bodied creamy sweetness. Hops bring itchy hop spice from the get go, mild smooth pine and a bitterish edge. Underneath is a nice span of rounded hop fruits. Citrus, stone fruits, a little Rakau exotics and lime coming through on the back end. Solid all round Tipa that goes down easy.

SBS with Fear is the Thief. This is sweeter, with an earthy note, a little less creamy than the double

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is floral, citrus, tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with maybe the slightest touch of alcohol burn, though for the most part, the ABV is well-hidden. Soft mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
