Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear burnished gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Good resinous hops, smooth pine with mild suckerpunch of hop spice. Mild marmalade. Finishes light and smooth with a spicy bitter linger. Old skool but good and a refreshing change from modern DIPAs once in awhile.
