Flavour is composed of dusty grains, wheat, yeasty, flaked wheat, grass, dirty pine, spicy hop. Palate is flaked grains, highish carbonation . Little rough round the edges.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 17/04/24. Moderately hazed golden amber with a decent enough lasting light egg shell white head ... looks fine, just not very West Coasty! Nose is orange zest, grass, perfume, mandarin, straw. Taste comprises bitter orange, melon, mandarin, airy malts, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow hop bitterness. Passable entry level IPA ... drinkable ... not West Coast in its outlook as well as its appearance!

440ml can from Steam Town. Orangey gold colour, foamy white head and aroma of citrus, resinous hops. Taste is malt, caramel, orange citrus, grapefruit, pine and resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask (Beards & Boards, Southampton) - Light amber in colour. Pine, grapefruit and a hint of caramel in the aroma. The taste features notes of marmalade, grapefruit and aniseed.

Cask at the brewpub. Nil aroma. Opaque amber. Frothy white head. Light bitter. This then smooth out into a flat finish. Light-mesium bodied if on the thin side. Flat. Relatively abrupt finish. Pretty boring to be honest.
