Can from Stacks.
A: hazy orange, stable, frothy, white head.
A: overripe tangerine, peach, apricot, jam.
T: sweet-sourish tangerine, apricot, jam, biscuit.
F: tart citrus, bitter citrus pith, warming fruit liqueur-like alcohol.
P: medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation.
Tastes infected and carbonation is way too fizzy. Bad batch somehow? Not what I expect from FrauGruber, unfortunately.

Panda at home, thanks to Sir Kenneth of Essex, 26/10/24. Clear golden to light amber with a well presented lasting off white head. Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, pine needle, melon, soft malts, mixed tropicana. Taste comprises mango flesh, juicy tropical fruits, mandarin, soft malts, hint of guava, light hop spice, pine resin, papaya, touch of bubblegum. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Tidy easy drinking DIPA.

Can. Just a very light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. The Nectaron hops are total delight here. Smooth and mild cooling pine into a honeyish mango, like Pakistan mangoes. Trace of soft peach. Smooth finish. An elegant and particularly mellifluous dipa. Lovely.
