Falifornia

Panda from LCB. Light cloudy amber with small off-white head, good lacing. Aroma and taste of malts with light brown bread, citrus and fusty/earthy but decent fresh hop. Medium bodied, slight chewiness. Decent.

Keg, half-pint in Latitude 48, Barnstable on Saturday 20th January 2024. Clean old gold body, white crown, hoppy front on a solid malty base, liked the hops, earthy, piney and bitter.

440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light orange/amber brown, the colour of incredibly strong iced tea. Malty notes, light orange peel, some forest floor and maybe a touch of caramel. Taste is a lot more intriguing: bittersweet, with tangy bittering hops clinging to the tongue throughout the sip. Hints of tangerine. Light body, carbonation on the heavy side but never heavy-handed. A very autumnal pale, so perfect for the first day of my favourite season. I wish there was a little more to it, but it’s perfectly enjoyable for what it is.
