Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth and thinnish malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft pine and modest hop spice. Soft citrus into a mild mangoish tropical fruits. A little hop spice on the back end. Its a tidy and drinkable dipa, nowt wrong with it but there are just so very many great DIPAs around, this brings nothing that will linger in the memory.

Can from Westhill Service Station. Milky golden body with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach and flower stems. Flavour of orange and straw. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Thick and pungent.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 27/06/24. Murky orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is grass, grapefruit, pine needle, mandarin, papaya, mixed tropical fruit esters. Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, ripe melon, pine needle, hop spice, raw mango. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with lightly dankened come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced boost. Tidy DIPA with a slightly raw and leading bitter edge.
