Golden amber with a big frothy white head and a syrupy fruit aroma. Fruity and malty with a little kick, some hop bitterness and a dry finish

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto da pompelmo e frutta tropicale. La finezza olfattiva è molto elevata e il modo in cui permane è pregevole. Il mant birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, mango, frutta tropicale, mandarino e pesca

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear amber with small white head Aroma is sweet and fruity with the passion fruit and mango adjuncts at the fore, hints of malts. Taste is malty, biscuit, fruit syrup concentrate, a moderate bitter bite and tangy finish, then an unpleasant aftertaste at first although recedes after a while. Smooth medium body, a little syrupy. There is no harmony between malt, hops and adjunct. A fun beer that's a little bit rubbish.

Bottle from Morrisons, Skipton. Dark amber with a head. It's quite a gritty IPA, traditional styled brew, so it takes a while for the tropical and exotic notes to come through, but they do provide some fair flavour once to the fore.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 07/03/24. Almost clear golden to light amber with an off white cap that retains as a swirl. Nose is passionfruit, light tropical fruit esters, grass, melon, sweet tones. Taste comprises much the same, mango, fruit syrup, grass, sugars, orange peel, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness. Passable fayre ... comes over tasting of overly sweet tropical fruit adjuncts like a formulaic DIY home brew kit for an IPA.

17/2/2024. Bottle from Waitrose, Peterborough. Pours clear deep orange bronze with a small frothy just off-white head. Aroma is ripe mango, sweet passion fruit, orange marmalade, biscuit, malt, hints o rubbery pine. Taste is sweet fruits, with moderate bitterness. Moderate body, soft but slight prickly carbonation. Decent effort, if a little forced.

Bottle. A clear copper colored beer with a dense two finger off-white head. Cute lacing. Malty, fruity aroma with a hint of pine cones. Even some tea. It's medium bodied, decently carbonated with a gentle bitterness. The flavor has some tropical fruityness along with pine cones, citrus zest and a touch of grass. Long finish. Traditional British, with a modern twist. Quite dull. 230825
