Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 28/07/2026.
Murky orange topped with a just off white head.
Nose is juicy citric flesh, grass, pine nibble, lychee, mandarin.
Taste comprises orange pith, grass, grapefruit, pine needle, mango, subtle hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Tidy.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light palate, getting on for semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied pale malts, a dry but decent creamy. Crisp cooling pine hops with a side serving of mild but persistent hop spice. Some decent hop fruits here, albeit somewhat hard to pull apart but, the elephant in the room is a dominant floral bitterness that gets soapy around the edges. Crisp dry finish. Shame, good beer in here somewhere.

Can share at Pien Shop, Helsinki.
The beer poured hazy and light orange in color.
White wine nose with stonefruit and juiciness. Dry. Light hop burn. Rhubarb like dryness/tartness. Interesting and different.

Undated can (kind of weird) drunk 3/26/26.
Smells fantastic...a pinch of allium in an otherwise juicy, bright, berry-and-cherry-like nose with big melon undercurrents. Honey and cracker from the malt gently balance but there's no big acidity nor any alcohol noted. Excellent complexity to the hops and has a nice low-fi production character to it.
Bright berry up front is super spicy, almost like hot peppers. Intense dry hop character with light chalk and earth and just all sorts of crazy spice for days. Chewy, fairly substantial texture with low sweetness and no alcohol noted. Really wacky flavors and I applaud the novelty in a world where making a unique NEIPA is exceptionally challenging. There's a fun cherry and melon character with interesting sweetness lingering. To be constructive, I wouldn't hate a bit more suppleness and depth from the malt and the abv doesn't exactly match the flavor intensity.
