Ascension variation 1. El Dorado brings fresh pineapple and stewed stonefruits which harmonise with the Citra base. Notes of sweet sparkling perry upfront give way to watermelon rind and light bitterness.

250ml on tap at Cafe Sånn. Clingy lacing from a slowly diminishing head, hazy golden body. Fresh and inviting smell of tropical moments with a citric scent. Hop fruity flavours of mango and pineapple. Fresh fruity ending with late arriving bitterness. Medium bodied. Went fine with my deep fried falafel food. (Tromsø, 11.10.2023)

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 12/02/23. Moderately hazed orange to light amber with a decent off white cap. Nose is orange zest, grass, tangerine, hop spice, melon, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises orange peel, toasted malts, melon, papaya, grass, light pine nip, pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy to lightly juicy hop bitterness. Okay drop if a little middle of the road ... stuck in 3rd gear for me compared to its many contemporaries.

Can from Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Considerably hazed golden with a head. Citrus based hoppy brew with a mild dryness. Its fruitiness is light as is its citric bitterness.
