Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 20/01/2026.
Murky orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is juicy tropical fruits, grass, pine nip, ripe melon, raw pineapple.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, papaya, pine resin, subtle hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness allied to a rising boost.
Tidy enough TIPA.

Can. Hazy yellow gold beer, small and fairly short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly thin bodied pale malts, a decent creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and a somewhat unexpected slightly flinty bitterness. Motueka key lime and a modest Strata passion fruit, fit in quite well. A hop spice nip on the crisp finish. Light and drinkable TIPA, just not what I expected.

Sweetish, creamy, juicy tropical fruity and slightly stingy herbal hoppy with some citrus, floral notes, grass, orange and lime, hints of gooseberries and faint bitterness. A bit heavy and slightly unbalanced.
