Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Thinnish palate, a little dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, certainly sweet enough. Light cooling pine into an unexpectedly forward candy fruits vibe. Watery grape on the back end. Light finish. A bit left field. Too much candy for my liking. Weakest in this series so far.
