Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 23/03/24. Murky fruit smoothie orange/yellow with a white cap that veers edgewards. Nose is ripe tropical fruit esters, mango, papaya, guava, light hop spice, orange zest. Taste comprises bitter sweet tropicana, touch of the Um Bongo's, papaya, grass, mandarin, pine nip. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Tidy enough IPA if lacking a little balance.

Can (8/13/23) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. A cloudy orange juice with nice sparkle, 3-finger head, nice retention light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit, honey malt. Taste is citrus, sweet fruits, honey malt. Exceptionally smooth, soft carbonation, juicy finish with mild bitterness. Aroma a bit more interesting than taste. Good.

16 oz can from a trade with Tom. Flavor has decent citrus with mild floral hints. Big malt backbone makes it kind of sweet. A touch of bitterness. It is good but certainly not this brewers best work.

Brewery draught, 9/16/23. Heavy haze. Bronze-maize. Small, off-white head immediately to ring. Very nice pineapple and mineral rich nose with strong honey-like malt to balance. Clean, no resin. Juicy, soft, ample bitterness with lots of pineapple, Papaya and orange. Sweet malts balance easily. Nice spiciness and no twang from the pineapple character. Pretty good attenuation, though a touch sweet.
