440ml can from The Fuss Club. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, mango, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Decent enough IPA but rather thin and watery.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma is very dank and weedy, lots of citrus too. Taste of dank weed, zesty citrus, orange, lime, tropical fruits, pine and a hint of savoury, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 24/03/24. Hazed orange topped with a just off white covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange zest, grass, raw pineapple, modest Nelson strokes (realise it's not the main player ... fucken shame!), mandarin, melon. Taste comprises mixed tropical fruits, light perfume, guava, lychee, grass, pine resin, dank suggestion. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spliced with juiyc come resinous hop bitterness. Tidy enough IPA but felt a little stuck twixt third and fourth gear for Phantom.

Can. Hazy yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, Phantom creamy sweetness delivered as expected. Hops announce their presence with light skunk and light pine. Light but juicy lime, slightly floral, so the last batch of Motueka, one of the best ever, for me anyway. Hop spice starts to nibble. Soft citrus on the back end. Something else going on, some Nelson goodness but fuck me, this is still a shadow of what it was. Light crisp finish. Bright and super drinkable.

[On tap at the Andover Tap, Andover.] An opaque milky amber pour with a thick white head; rich aroma of melon and tropical fruit; milkshake body with a fresh tropical fruit taste and a little bitterness; then a clean fresh fruity finish. Excellent.
