Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 26/08/21. Murky orange amber with a good sized off white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, melon, pineapple. Taste comprises orange peel, melon, light pine nip, raw pineapple, grass, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced hop bitterness and a lick of booze. Steady drinking DIPA ... not bad for supermarket fayre.

Can at home from Asda i think. A hazed golden orange coloured pour with a frothy off white head. Aroma is tangy breakfast orange, biscuity grains, grapefruit, tangerine, some alcohol. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded malts, sticky orange, mixed zesty citrus, hint of toffee, zesty orange, bitter grapefruit, soft wheat. Firm bitterness. Palate is semi sweet, juicy hop, airy carbonation.

Can Sainsbury. Nose mango light citrus. Taste is mango, sight onion skin, caramel, herbal hop note, wheat, hint of lime. There is an exceptionally strange sourness that doesn't work. Not sure if it's a bad can but not pleasant

[44cl can from Sainsbury's, Bracknell.] A hazy amber pour with a loose cream coloured head; rich piney and earthy aroma; full, creamy body, that manages to be both smooth and deeply bitter at the same time - full of forest tastes, pine, moss and granite. A deeply satisfying beer, with well hidden alcohol, until the muddledness soaks through.

440ml can from Sainsbury's, Beaconsfield, Bucks. A hazy orange coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, orange, peach, tropical fruit aroma and taste. Very drinkable DIPA from Glen Affric.

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Blackley. Cloudy orange-juice coloured. Mid-citrus brew with plenty of its strength evident. Slightly dry with a citric tropical fruit bitterness.

Can from Sainsbury's. Opaque pale amber with a white head and a prickly fizz. Big tropical nose. Taste kicks off with pine and a lot of spice, before lemon, melon and pineapple emerge with an odd hint of sourness. The pine is a tad heavy and I'm not a fan of it in NEIPAs. The alcohol makes itself increasing obvious too, and there's a slight chalkiness in the background. There's plenty of sweetness whilst drinking, but it finishes dry and mildly bitter, with a sticky, boozy aftertaste. Overall though it's a decent brew, and nearly (but not quite) overcame my recent boredom of and antipathy towards the over-used IPA styles.

440ml can from Sainsburys. Hazed orange appearance, white head. Great rosy orange fruit coming through on the nose and to taste, smooth on the palate, full bodied with a solid bitter bite. Very moreish, and the best I've had from Glen Affric so far.
