Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 09/04/22. Almost clear golden to light amber with a just off white cap that settles as a swirl. Nose is orange zest, caramel malts, old skool vibes, grass, grapefruit. Taste comprises orange peel, mandarin, caramel, pine nip, grapefruit, airy malts, grass, candied fruit peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced hop bitterness. Not bad if a little sweet for my liking.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy amber pour with a thick white head; lemony citrus aroma; lemony taste with a grainy body; and a fresh sharp finish with lemon and lime zest. A refreshing citrusy IPA.

330ml can via Beer52: BB 12th March 2022. Drank in my back garden on 25th August 2021. Hazy amber body, large off-white head. The nose held citrussy esters, the taste also on the citrussy side. Fairly bitter finish, initially semi-sweet to taste.

Can from Beer 52. Very lively on opening can – ended up with a glass full of froth ! Eventually pours a golden amber with a fiar sized foamy off-white head.. Fruity hops in the nose with hints of citrus. Creamy texture is the first thing that springs to notice in the mouth, followed by old school hops then candied peel and oranges. Finish is quite bitter. This is a decent traditional IPA – I like it.
