Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light and fairly smooth palate, reasonable fine minerally carbonation late on. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine into a very pleasing bright mandarin - tangerine and pineapple. A slight resinous bitterness on the light finish. Nice! Another very impressive Homes dipa.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has dark mango and earthy citrus with a touch of grass and sweet grains backing. Flavor has a good amount of mango and pineapple with a touch of dank citrus and sweet grains supporting.

Can from HOMES. Pours a hazy gold color with a finger of slightly off-white foam that lingers. Big dank, pungent citrus and pith focused nose. Pineapple and mango with more citrus on the palate. Slightly warming on the palate with some green hops. Will have to see if this mellows out a bit in the coming week or two. Still enjoyable.
