Panda from Colin. Cheers. Pale hazy gold. Frothy white head soon almost entirely disappears. Aroma has slightly funky but sweet stone fruit and herbs. Vinous hints. Underlying malts. Flavourwise it's fruity with vanilla porridge... chewy. Slightly herbal. Sour edge. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Very pleasant.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. The 2 experimental kiwi hops are a delight here. Soft pine, persistent hop spice. Sweetish mandarin, white wine subtle undertone. Very mild skunk. Touch of stone fruits. Passion fruit? Well a light touch on the back end if you are looking for it. The hop spice now swinging with both fists. Really liked this, one of those beers where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Delicious.

Keg at indiebeer, Holloway Road. 25/10/2025. Hazed yellow gold with fine white foam. A riot of ripe stone fruits, some zesty citrus. Smooth & nicely balance. Tasty stuff.
