Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, tad thin really, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts provide a pretty recessed sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. Touch of hop spice, very light. Mild savoury skunk and thin tangy lime and grape. Light and semi dry finish. A good beer in here somewhere but, this feels emaciated, really need to put on some weight.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 31/12/2025.
Moderately hazed light golden orange topped with a decent just off white head.
Nose is stone fruit, Nelson fumes, grass, dank, papaya, lychee.
Taste comprises bitter tropicana, white grape, dank chimes, grass, guava, stone fruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come dankened Nelson powered hop bitterness.
Solid punchy pale for the meagre ABV.
