Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Golden colour, white bubbly foam head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, milky, caramel, funk. Taste is fruity, appley, tangy, with meaty funk, caramel note, and drying bitter tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
