Our awesome Session IPA is back, revamped and better than ever! A light biscuity malt serves as the platter for a mix of English and American hops, with Citra and EKG taking pole position. Smash-able and tasty.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#31. PORTELET BAY. On the southern coast of Jersey, high above the beach, this bottled beer is golden, hoppy, easy, with a hint of citrus. Drank in a beer garden of the Portelet Inn with the best view of the holiday to that point!

Old rating - The first beer produced by Matt & Digby, co founders of Jersey's only operating micro brewery. As you'd expect there is lots of room for improvement, but it was still a decent effort & proved to be a easy drinking IPA. I had a 2nd, 3rd & 4th bottle to really get the taste for it. Very refreshing on a summers evening. Different beer in my home No. 1780

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo - Cheers Ed, 02/01/23. Golden amber with an off white cap that settles to a swirl. Nose is dusty fruits, orange peel, grass, pale malts, hedgerow. Taste comprises caramel, stewed fruits, grains, hint of orange, straw, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so affair ... old skool stuff ... sweet edged and lacking hop dynamic.

Panda 🐼 at home big thanks to Danlo. A mostly clear amber orange coloured pour with a loose greyish head. Aroma is butterscotch, toffee, woody pine, bark, chewy. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, sticky malts, toffee, butterscotch, pine, hedgerow hops, earthy, maybe a little diacetyl. Palate is sis semi sweet, sticky, moderate carbonation carbonation. Little tired and wishy washy.
