Can. Just a light haze on gold beer, small bubbly pale cream head. Light palate, slightly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Slightly thin bodied pale malts but sweet enough. The hops are a surprise, well the ubiquitous cooling pine is not, but the fruity punch really is. Bright tangy passion fruit, a little stone fruits. Light finish. Nicely done and a complete surprise. Well done Dave Mustaine.

Gulbrun tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter sitrus, brød og urter. Lett, noe bitter. Smaker blomster, sitrus og brød. Kort.

25/4/2026. Can from Tesco, Ely. Pours fine. Aroma is hoppy, dank, musty tropical fruits. Bittersweet taste. Touch tart. Decent body. Average carbonation. Quite drinkable.

440ml can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Drunk listening to Metallica, for a reason I couldn't quite ascertain. Slightly unclear golden yellow pour, loose bubbles atop. Juicy grapefruit, citrus orange, lemon cake.. light bodied.. a bit airy.. for a novelty band beer it's not bad at all.

Thin spotty beige head on a hazy dull golden coloured body.
Muted citrus aroma.
Medium bodied, soft with a lightly carbonated cloying back.
Melon, chalky, citrus & grapefruit tastes with a bitter finish.
Nice enough.

Can shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. A bit hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are wheat, a bit odd, dishwasher water, butter. Meh, not a fan.

Panda at home, thanks to Mark the Bearded Avenger, 25/01/2026.
Moderately hazed orange to golden topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is mellow citric zest, grass, orange, melon, soft malts.
Taste comprises big soapy notes, not good, grass, tangerine.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Not good ... struggled to take down more than half a panda ... Cussons fest!
