Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to peachy to mango-like hops; light pineapple-y hops in the middle; soft clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet chill quality; finishes peachy to pineapple-y with a touch of piney dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; borderline leaning towards being sessionable but the smoothness isn't as smooth as I expected it to be as some more dryness seems to clench into my tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA for the most part, just smooth out some of that dryness and this one will be much better.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly off white head, doesn't last. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally crispness. Light smooth pale malts, pretty sweet, a tad too much on my book. Cooling pine into a fair hop spice nip. Soft cooling pine. Slightly ripe but juicy citrus, a little ripe stone fruits. Light finish. Too sweet but drinkable anyway!

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 25/10/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a lasting just off white head.
Nose is orange pith, pineapple, grass, melon, papaya.
Taste comprises grapefruit, pine needle, mandarin, grass, melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Okay DIPA if not one I'd revisit.
