16 oz can which is good of course but I can say I really like the brewery’s name. Tulip glass ready, I pour. I see a hazy yellow-gold body followed by a quick settling head of icy white foam. I smell oranges, tropical fruit and some hops. The taste is sweet citrus, pineapple, crackers and a bit of orange rind, all wrapped by a small hoppy bitterness. Better than the average NE style IPA but unable to stand out.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy deep good beer, small and very short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, smooth creamy malts. Light crisp pine. Decent hop fruits if a little ripe. Modest tropical fruits and a little ripe lime. Finishes semi dry and slightly bitter. Decent.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 20/10/24. Hazed orange with a just off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, grapefruit, pine needle, ripe melon, grass, papaya, bitter tropical fruit esters. Taste comprises orange pith, dank chimes, grass, pine needle, mango, grapefruit zest. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Tidy.

Dull cloudy yellow-brown body, thin off-white head. Aroma sweet-sour with papaya and berries. Body gummy with candy cigarettes, lactose, and a little citrus. It's pleasant enough, but kind of muddled and subdued, and hence unusually boring for HB.

Picked up a 4 pack of this for a get together and it did not disappoint. Pours quite cloudy borderline milky basically Orange juice with a small off Whitehead and pretty good lacing. Aroma is full of citrus hops nice thanks to a bit of pot to bit a pine risen a bit of tropical fruit. Flavor is light sweet minimally better juice juicy no hot burn present really easy to drink little bit dangerous has a double.

Enjoyed at home on a pleasant late summer evening. Goes down with more of a bite, mostly citrus, but good overall.
