Can share at Grumbo's, cheers. Pours a clear amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of ginger, coconut, flora & soap. Medium body. Soapy medium bitter finish. Hard to finish & judge as not a fan in general of ginger and the soap is quite off putting

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Orangey gold colour, big foamy white head and aroma of ginger, coconut, fruity, ripe citrus. Taste is malt, grain, spicy, herby, root gingery, with some tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, earthy bitter finish. Quite OK

Shared Panda with minutemat at my place on 10th April 2024. Cheers Graham (Grumbo). Golden orange body, weak off-white top. A lot more Ginger than Coco, no real heat though.

16/3/2024. Can from the Norwich Arts Centre fundraiser following World Beer Awards. Pours almost clear golden orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is root ginger, flowers, soap, spice, carrot cake, waxy coconut, gingerbread. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, quite smooth, average carbonation. Grower, but the soapiness was a bit off putting.

Bottle from a Quito supermarket. Has a very thin foamy head and light gold body. heavy carbonation. Aroma is like ginger ale, heavy on the ginger, but still very soda-like, some chlorinated pool stench in there too. Flavour is a meaty affair of ginger and soda, feels musty on the palate, beefy and heavy. Like downing suntan lotion thinned in club soda. The more I think about it the less appealing it gets, so I'm going to stop reviewing here before I start throwing out the negative expletives. But yeah- this would be a risky purchase for even the staunchest beer lover.

Bottle at the DC Expanded Sour Tasting, brought by iphonephan, thanks! Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was solid ginger notes, touch of wheat, floral hops. Flavor was a light citrus character, with a mixture of fresh cut and pickled ginger notes to it with a finish of a splash of coconut.
