Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a very mild and natural grain and a modest sweetness. Light cooling pine, slightly resinous but bright citrus. A little citrus peel. A fair amount of hop spice ramping up on the back end. Long hop spicy linger. A better West Coast style for me.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma is mild tropical fruity, citrusy and resinous. Pours cloudy dark golden color with medium sized frothy off-white head, fair lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts ripe tropical fruity and resinous, following is medicinal and herbal, mouthfeel is astringent, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. I almost can’t bear the bitterness…
