Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin pale malts but it has a nice light creamy sweetness. Hops bring soft pine, some nibbly hop spice. Juicy hop fruits, winey candy fruits. Mils citrus. A light and hop spicy finish. Nicely profiled dipa.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, white head. Condensed, fruity and resinous, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty background, rather homogeneous fruitiness with citrusy and tropical aspects, some orchard fruit and yellow stone fruit as well, orange, mandarine, pear are most explicit, additionally some dankness, weed, moss, grass. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally sugary pale malty, slightly oaty and minimally wheaty malty, fruity and slightly resinous hoppy, homogeneous fruitiness again, now with more citrusy flavours (and a higher share of citrusy flavours) compared to the nose, some zesty bitterness, dank aspects as well; very late a minimally warming, alcoholic touch, very well hidden alcohol overall.
Minimally creamy, oily-watery texture, very smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Excellent mouthfeel, very homogeneous, dangerously drinkable - very good.
Reminds me of my first DIPAs / TIPAs from Adroit Theory and at that time distinctive, formidable impression thereof: surprisingly light body, well hidden alcohol, remarkable homogeneity and smoothness. The same intriguing ease.
