Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine into resinous citrus and citrus peel. Biting hop spice finish. Doesn't sing for me, a tad sweet and west coast for me and, the hop spice feels over egged.

500ml can, what a wonderful Heady Topper homage this can art is!
Pours hazy orange with a big white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, marmalade, resin. Taste is piney, resinous, orange and grapefruit, marmalade, a little caramel, sweet stone fruits, moderately bitter. Medium-full bodied.
What a great homage to Heady Topper, they've got this spot on, the look, the flavour, the can art. Huge nostalgia hit. Great beer.

Can from Caledonian Craft Beer Merchant. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, burnt orange and charred pineapple. Flavour of passionfruit and dried mango. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Quite boozy and punchy. I enjoyed it.
