18/11/2025. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers! Very juicy, real apple juice. Dry and sugary. Yeasty. Stone fruits. Spritzy. Some bitterness to finish. Pretty decent.

Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Golden colour, bubbly head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, fruit, funk. Taste is sweetish, appley, tangy, some funk, kiwi fruity note, with acidity and tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tart & tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
