Solid nice hop juice. Dangerously easy drinkable Cloudy yellow in the glass and a fine head. Good lacing Fine hoppy and fruity aroma Balanced sweetness and smooth carbonation level Tropical fruity, citric hoppy, herbal and pine in the flavor [Can at Skråplanet in Oslo, Norway]

nice us style hoppy aroma, good malty balance, good composition, comes off as a whole, not the parts. very very faint grassy or hay note might subtract a little from the overall experience. great aroma though. 7.4999 flavor is bitter hoppy, grapefruit, citrus fruit peel, solid malty balance that is neither crisp or sweet, the alc. can be tasted a little bit in the malts or the base of the taste.

Can picked up from Beerdome, Grootegaste, Netherlands and consumed at home Tuesday 23rd November 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music and making cooking a Pumpkin Curry with Mashed Potato Parathas and Rice from our new Rice Cooker. Pours murky yellowy orange with a mid sized white head, nice hoppiness throughout, really nice, tastes quite strong but not OTT smooth with citrus, lemon, grapefruit but possibly more sweet tangerine. I really like this, it's no looker but it tastes great. Perhaps picking up a little resinous edge. Good.

Canned on 23/07/2021. Hazy yellow, white head. Smell is fairly sweet, plenty fruity, citrus and strawberry. Lovely smooth mouthfeel. Taste is very nice, a bit on the sweet side but even now still filled with loads of fruit (berries, grapefruit). Yum!

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Finn. Pours a low white head over an unclear golden body, spotty lacing. Peachy nose, inviting. Citrus and peaches to the taste profile together with wheat and dough. Drying ending with satisfying fruity bitterness. Well bodied. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Tromsø 01.10.2021).

Panda at home, from HOTM online, 18/09/21. Murky orange with a good sized off white covering. Nose is ripe citric flesh, straw, grains, grass, orange peel, dusty hops. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, ripe melon, trace of lime, light mineral bite. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with balanced hop bitterness. Decent enough DIPA but a little below par for Pentrich.
