Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, some creamy sweetness that is fairly well integrated with the modest vanilla. Slightly tangy orangey hops, ripe orange, a touch of marmalade, whispers of tangerine and mandarin. Airy finish. Don't hate this but, I feel it is well out in no-man's-land. Neither an IPA nor what I would consider a proper milkshake IPA. Identity crisis!

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 15/03/2026.
Murky orange topped with a lasting creamy white cap.
Nose is orange zest, mandarin, papaya, mango pulp, pineapple.
Taste comprises bitter orange, papaya, ripe melon, pine resin, hint of vanilla.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Can't say I've ever been a fan of the milkshake sub genre but at least the bitterness offered here masks the creamy sweetness layers ... not bad.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is orange and vanilla. Flavors follow. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
