440ml can, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Horizontal tasting of three Ascension beers. Shared at a rating session with lmojoh and Finn. Slowly diminishing white head, hazy golden body, rings of lace down the glass. Moderate smell of dusty hops and peaches. Mango and peaches to the taste profile, backbone of wheat. Drying fruity ending. Soft on the swallow. Fair enough. (Tromsø 17.01.2023).

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 19/12/22. Hazed golden orange with a lasting just off white cap that settles to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is orange pith, grass, pine needle, melon, mango. Taste comprises juicy citric flesh, pine resin, stoned fruit trace, grass, soft malts, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Decent.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - murky yellow with a thin snow white head. Nose - apple and lightly grassy. Taste - more apples and slightly bruised. Bready. Palate - light bodied, a bit bitter. Overall - decent but this might remain a HBC hop.
