Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 28/01/2025.
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with an off white cap that settles as a swirl and edgeing over time.
Nose is bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, pine nip, green berry tang.
Taste comprises orange zest, raw pineapple, grapefruit, mandarin, guava.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with lightly aggressive juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Okay DIPA if a touch raw and unrefined in places.

Can. A mild haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, somewhat forward creamy sweetness, never comes close to being too much. Crisp cooling pine. Juicy bright fresh citrus hops, a very mild tang. Mellow light mango. Touch of lemony citrus on the back end along with a most chaste hop spice peck. Nothing out the ordinary here, no new hop wow or anything like that, just a very good dipa with a very nice bright hop fruit profile.

440ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of overripe fruits, mango, orange, pine. Taste is the same, quite sweet with its overripe fruits, orange, mango, piney hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Not bad, but quite poor if compared to Dark Element's output. Always a little awkward when the host brewer is worse than the collaborator!

Can at the Strait and Narrow on a work night out. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are light sweet and tropical fruity. Smooth full body.
