Darlington has a surprisingly rich history of ghostly associations. Particularly around the waters that seamlessly pervade the town, female ghosts have always accompanied the waters of the north. Even today at witching hour you may well see the phantom hellhound thought to roam to woods near Glassensikes. Hob Headless whose spirit was thought to reside in a stone on the road between Hurworth & Neasham. Or Lady Gerard of Lead Yard, still searching for her pilfered limb. In hopes of satiating the dammed, we present this beer. A soft, ghostly white head, mousse-like mouthfeel with delicious munich and wheat malts. Smooth bitterness with notes of vanilla, clove and banana.

Panda at home, thanks to the Ed Danlo, 19/11/23. Almost clear orange golden with an off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is herb, straw, grains, light caramel, clove, yeast esters. Taste comprises wheaten bread, caramel, grains, straw, clove, yeast strains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Pleasant enough for the style.

500ml bottle from Cheese & Wine Shop. 5.1%. Slightly hazed pale gold colour, big foamy white head and aroma of wheat, candy, clove, banana, yeast. Taste is sweet, wheaty, with belgium yeasty notes, banana, clove, candy hint and some fruity bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying wheaty bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
