Slightly hazy amber pour with a small, but stable white head. Aromas of organge, mango, malt, yeast. Taste is indeed a bit watery.: orange, mango, grapefruit, malt.

"Octobräu Surfers Ale - Lahnwelle", Fläschchen von tegut, MR-Wehrda. - Orangegoldbraun, trüb. - In der Nase feine, blaß exotische Hopfenaromen: Mango, Pampelmuse, alles sehr leicht. - Antrunk spritzig-weich aber etwas dünn karamelmalzig mit milder zitrusfruchtiger Herbe, die kaum noch exotische Aromen aufweist, vielleicht einen Hauch von Mango. Dünn, angenehm trocken. Im Abgang blaß zitrusbittere und fein hopfenwürzige Herbe. Leerer Nachtrunk. - Schlankes Sommerbier von feiner aber wenig Ale-typischer Hopfung. Was fürs Strandbad.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma promises lemon lime and hay. Taste is mildly bitter with faint, tart, vinegar undertones that I’m not sure are intended. Particularly at the finish, there’s a lingering touch of apple vinegar. Body to the light side of medium, moderate carbonation. Overall, unclean feel. Nah.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 27/03/24. Almost clear golden orange with a decent enough just off white head that veers edgewards in time. Nose is grass, melon, hedgerow, faint orange zest. Taste comprises light breads, tangerine, hedgerow, straw, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable affair ... no defects but on the bland side.

330ml bottle. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with average, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity hoppy and slightly grainy, pale malty aroma, hints of yellow stone fruit. Taste is watery, fruity hoppy, minimally yeasty fruity and minimally grainy, pale malty, diluted hints of yellow stone fruit, apricot, mirabelle, a touch of orange, minimally metallic overtones. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to coarse, prickly to lively carbonation. Decent composition, but rather watery and minimally overcarbonated - OK.
