From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Piney hop aroma with grapefruit, orange, malt, pine resin. Nicely bitter and light sweet. Fine basic West Coast IPA.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear gold amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, modest fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, a little creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Ripe citrus, a little peel. Airy finish, semi dry. A bit ripe and a bit flaccid.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 30/09/2025.
Almost clear golden to light copper topped with a just off white head that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter orange, kiwi fruit, grass, melon, raw pineapple.
Taste comprises guava, lychee, tangerine, grass, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spiked with light juicy come danko hop bitterness.
Tidy enough IPA if lacking in Nelson presence.
