Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: chill haze yellow to orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit rind with a light orange rind and some piney hoppiness; clean bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair semi-juicy sweet to bittersweet quality also adds in a touch of citrusy zest; finishes somewhat with the grapefruit rind bitterness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop assertiveness - just noticeable (nothing overbearing)
Overall: pretty good DIPA worthy of coming back to.

Panda 🐼 at home thanks to Wingman. A translucent golden orange coloured pour with a lasting fine off white head. Aroma is semi sweet, creamy oats, wheat, orange creamsicle, mango, peach, mixed fruit salad. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, smooth rolled oats, creamy orange, mellow dank, mango puree, firm bitterness. Palate is smooth, rounded, moderate carbonation. Nice.

Tap@Peders, Copenhagen (03/03/2022) - golden yellow with a white head. Medium sweet fruity juicy with a cross section of tropical and citrus fruit, sweet malty, medium body, solid hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Can (10/2/21) pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width white foam head with poor retention and veils of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong mix of citrus and stone fruit with mild corn chip. Taste is strong orange, citrus, mango, late grain. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, somewhat nondescript and not super bright and juicy given all Citra, but OK.

Can from Jeff, thanks Hazy lemon yellow with a thin bubbly white head that quickly recedes. Earthy grassy lemon orange and tropical fruitiness. Light sweet bread and faint alcohol. Decent.

Draught @ Ginger Man - NYC (12/13/19). Extremely hazy dark yellow with very small frothy off-white head, light citrus-pineapple aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter citrus peel-unripe mango taste, faint pineapple flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Decent NEIPA.
