hazy pale golden colour, large, dense, though not too stable ecru-ish white head; aroma of tropical fruity, grapefruity, vanilla, some tangerine and biscuity notes; syrupy taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; not bad, though I expected a bit more hoppy bitterness
gave a cheers!

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 15/12/23. Hazed orange topped with a just off white covering that thins to a swirl. Nose is orange pith, melon, light pine needle, airy malts, papaya, grass. Taste comprises raw pineapple, grapefruit, orange pith, grass, pine nip, papaya, mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Decent DIPA.

Can. Very hazy orange gold beer, small cream colour head. Smooth, airy and slightly soft palate, decent fine minerally carbonation comes through on the back end. Light pale malts but delivering a pronounced creamy sweetness. Hops bring piney floral citrus. Reasonably bright citrus, whisper of lime. Crisp pine before a fairly soft creamy finish. Lingering light hop spice. Another fairly sweet Basqueland dipa, but it goes down well.
