Panda thanks to Wingman. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, airy, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, trace of cereal and a forward sweetness. Soft pine contrasts with aggressive hop spice. Light pine into juicy if slightly ripe citrus and stone fruits. The hop spice has legs and just keeps going through the light and semi dry finish. Enthusiastic!

473ml can. Murky orange with a white head. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits, papaya, grapefruit, a little savoury. Taste is tropical, fruity, papaya, peach, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, fairly sweet and a little savoury again, some balancing hop bitterness to finish. Thick full body. Very good but the savoury notes bring my rating down a little.
