Our first DIPA! Bursts with vibrant tropical aromas, thanks to a powerhouse blend of Nectaron and Citra in the dry hop, with a little Simcoe hot side. Expect waves of ripe pineapple, stone fruit, and citrus zest, balanced by a smooth and soft mouthfeel.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 07/12/2025.
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is bitter orange, pineapple, grass, pine nibble, dusty hops.
Taste comprises grapefruit, old skool vibes, grass, ripe melon, pine flicker.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Passable DIPA ... drinks okay but rather stuck firmly in 3rd gear!

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, some cereal. Cooling pine, mild citrus and stone fruits. A very mild bitterness before a light and semi dry finish. Clean, a tad sweet, for me, the lack of hop welly is the major issue. Overall, inoffensive but too polite for a dipa for me.

Can from the Low Cost Beer online shop. Pours murky yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of peach, pineapple and citrus. Taste is more of the same. Light sweet finish.
