Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 07/07/22. Hazed amber pour with an off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is fruit cake, herb, winter cheer, spice, toffee. Taste comprises spruce, big herb, clove, caramel, toffee, dried fruit rinds, spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. It's fine for what it is but nothing I'd rush back for.
