Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a slightly thin but pleasing creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine hops and fairly aggressive hop spice from the get go. Rounded but fairly bright stone fruits and citrus, Peacharine not as obvious as it is in many brews but, comes through on the back end. A light savoury skunk on the hop spicy finish. Muscular.

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 28/05/2026.
Murky fruit smoothie orange topped with a lasting creamy white head.
Nose is ripe tropicana, passionfruit, mango pulp, subtle hop spice.
Taste comprises lychee, pine resin, dank spike, mango, grapefruit, guava.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with resinous come dankened hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Tidy TIPA maintaining a good bitter edge.

Stingy hoppy, grassy and floral with some tropical notes, pine, citrus, grapefruit and herbal bitterness. Abv is quite well hidden, but slightly stingy and unbalanced.

Can from Brew Export. Nose is peach, mango, orange, papaya, passionfruit, pineapple. Juicy flavours of tangerine, peach, pink grapefruit, touch of lime. Juicy fruity mouthfeel with some soothing alcohol warmth. Hop laden aftertaste. Exceedingly tasty burps. Great stuff.

Pours a hazy, butterscotch-banana color, with big, lasting head. Aroma has a green onion/garlic note upfront, followed by citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors all follow. ABV is well-hidden in both aroma and flavor. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate levels of hop bitterness in the finish.
