440ml can from Buxton Brewery online shop. A slightly hazy orange coloured pour with a medium fluffy white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, orange, mango, pineapple, tropical fruit aroma and taste. This was a really decent DIPA but also rather sweet and syrupy.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 10/08/24. Almost clear orange amber topped with a good sized lasting white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, light floral notes, melon, papaya. Taste comprises orange peel, soft malts, mango, papaya, sweet edged, mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking DIPA.

Can. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness that is so right for this dipa and hundreds of others! Crisp pine hop intro. Some nibbly hop spice. There is crisp bright citrus underneath, like new world hoppage but thankfully the dominant character is good old English hop Orchard fruits, particularly pear. Bright pear and ripe pear, whisper of plum. The back end starts to expand on the flavours that are more New World associated. Bright crisp floral mandarin and tangerine. Nice touch of mango and mild guava tropical fruits. Finishes crisp with hop spice lingering on. A delight. A bright crisp and hugely drinkable DIPA with bloody marvellous English hoppage. Thank you Buxton. Other brewers please take note, the next time there is another price hike in US hops - consider these!

Can from the brewery online shop. Pours opaque yellow to orange with a thick white head. Aromas of peach and other stone fruit. Taste has solid pithy bitterness. Good gear.
