Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 08/08/24. Moderately hazed golden to light amber topped with a lasting creamy white head. Nose is orange pith, melon, papaya, mandarin, light stone fruits, soft malts. Taste comprises orange zest, hop spice, hint of strawberries, melon, mango kiss, pine resin, soft breads. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close spliced with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Tidy easy drinking DIPA.

13th July 2024 Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly thin and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts bring a reasonable amount of sweetness to balance the hoppage. Light cooling pine into fairly bright citrus that manages to be both juicy but thin. Mild tropical fruits. Touches of hop spice and hop bitterness on the semi dry finish. Very late on and travelling well into the aftertaste - pineapple! Ripeish, getting into Pineapple Cubes. Intriguing. The 2nd US dipa on the bounce that seems to have quite a different style to UK ones, but the likes of Veil and Finback taste much more like what UK brewers are delivering. Dunno! More research required! A tough job but someone has to do it!

16oz can pours a murky gold, big cap of creamy white head. Nose has citrus, orange and grapefruit, raw tropicals, some soap and some herbs. Flavor has malt and honey and oats, then citrus and soap, some booze on the lips like pineapple schnapps, then a little melon too. Full bodied, boozy, bitter finish.
