Hops story from Egger's: The hops were harvested on our Harvest Moon - from eclipse (~9pm) through sunrise. It was a Harvest (Full) Moon, Blood Moon, Super Moon, and Total Lunar Eclipse all in one. In the Northern Hemisphere, the full moon on Monday, October 6, 2025, is the Harvest Moon. Always near the autumnal equinox, it appears low and large on the horizon. Usually in September, every four years it falls in October - and this year it's also the first Supermoon, rising and setting at the same time for three nights straight.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy yellowish gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine and fair hop spice bite that has legs and threatens to turn into a burn. Crisp bright juicy hop fruits, mild grape, juicy citrus and stone fruits. A mild savoury skunk. Light crisp hop spicy finish. Chameleon Eggers shifts again. Nice brew.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 17/11/2025.
Murky orange to golden topped with a just off white head that thins to a swirl.
Nose is ripe tropicana, pissy NZ hop fumes, grass, guava, gooseberries, pine resin.
Taste comprises white grape tang, pine resin, stone fruit, grass, guava, papaya, lychee.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous Nelson cloaked hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Solid NZ powered DIPA.

Intense with vibrant notes of crushed white grape and gooseberry, notes of pine and light florals, grass, some lemon and melon coming in, very juicy with a dense sweet malty backbone, balanced bittersweet hoppy into the close. Gorgeous.
Soft, dank, juicy tropical fruity, sweaty herbal hoppy, vinous grapey and floral with hints of NZ funk, creamy fluffiness and grapefruit. Pretty good
