16oz can. Sweet, but solid hop tone. Not quite on the Burial level of the beer before it, but still really good.

Can. Opaque yellowish brown with a cm of white head that never quite disappears. Annoying when it doesn't say hazy on the label. Aroma of oranges, some tropical fruit, fishmonger's meltwater (?!). Full bodied for the ABV and fairly sweet at first with apricots as well as orange and tropical fruit. Some herbal touches with moderate bitterness at the end. Improved after that initial sniff.

Cloudy/murky orange body, thick marshmallowy cream head. Aroma mostly herbal with lime, mint, and light dankness. Body candy-like (but not particularly fruity) with notes of candy cigarettes, gum, and lactose complementing grapeskin, pink grapefruit, and herbal tannins. Very good.

Panda, thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Thinnish but nicely creamy sweet malts. Nice hoppage. Light pine into light but juicy mandarin, blood orange, a little pink grapefruit and a touch of sweetish tropical fruits. Light finish. Another delightfully fruity dipa from this brewery, just wants for a little more hop bite.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingman, 05/07/24. Murky orange with a good sized lasting faded egg shell white head. Nose is grapefruit, pine resin, dank chimes, ripe melon, mango flesh, hop spice. Taste comprises ripe tropical fruits, light minerality, raw pineapple, grass, hop spice, mandarin, guava. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with lightly aggressive dankened hop bitterness. Tidy DIPA.

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. Cloudy dark yellow with thin head with decent retention and nice lacing, trub at the bottom of the glass. Aroma is sweet orange/citrus, vague tropical, vegetal. Taste is rich, floral sweetness, malt backbone. Thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Fuller body than All Beef Frank (even w/less ABV), greater depth to flavor. Good but don't love it.
