Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a very mild viscosity, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, fairly light, a decent creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Pineapple and guava tropical fruits. Juicy citrus and stone underneath also, some mild but unwelcome esters, perhaps inevitable give the abv. Smooth finish brings a little tropical fruits vodka thing but, no alcohol heat or spice here, hides the 14% abv incredibly well. Just made me very tired?

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 28/06/2025.
Murky orange topped with a big old lasting creamy white head.
Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, pine resin, grass, papaya.
Taste comprises freshly squeezed orange juice, grass, mandarin, guava, ripe melon, pine resin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost.
Solid kit ... nice fresh juice vibes and doesn't run overly sweet ... just lacks a touch of bitterness for me.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel lichtgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van nectarines en hop. De smaak is fruitig, citrus, necatrine en toch ook wel alcohol achtig, wat een beetje afbreuk doet aan de smaak.
That shit is delicious.

Can from Peders drunk at home 07/06/2023 Intense sweet juicy fruity with notes of stewed orange and mango flesh, some pineapple, peach, big malty backbone, robust hoppy sweet fruity lingering warming to boozy finish. Works really well, lovely.

Can from the brewery via BillyT. It pours cloudy pale orange with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy and bright, good depth of ripe tropical fruit, baked goods, mango, pineapple, pink marshmallows, I do actually get cotton candy, papaya, nectarine, passion fruit, peach melba and brioche. The taste is dry, nip of green bitterness, wet grass, weedy, dank, ripe and juicy, tropical fruit vibes, mango, peach, nectarine, pineapple, passion fruit, sweet and sticky, resinous, sticky iced bun, spice, brioche, marmalade and bong rips with a sticky - sweet finish. Fulsome body, average carbonation and sticky mouth feel. A big beast of a beer. Heavy, but works well.

On tap at Other Half. Pours hazy yellow orange. Grapefruit, booze, melon, soft guava, pineapple. Medium body. A little over the top but good.
