Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 28/01/2025.
Hazed chestnut brown topped with a lasting light beige head, lacing ensues.
Nose is orange zest, brown bread, dark malts, fruit cake mix, dates, figs, toffee.
Taste comprises dark malts, spice, booze tunes, dates, caramel, orange peel, cacao nibs, stewed fruits, raisins.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol.
Tidy sipper ... I don't tend to get on with orange flavours in beers in general but this one was fairly well integrated.

A mild haze on this amber beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, decent fine carbonation, good enough for this barleywine. Soft but rich caramel and cream malts. A nice ripe orange vibe, slightly floral. The added karakas (hello Gary, are you out there somewhere mate?) integrates pretty well. Airy smooth finish, leaves a mildly bitter toffee linger. A light and simple barleywine that drinks very easy.

25/7/2024. Tap at the 34th Ipswich Beer & Cider Festival. Pours clear dark amber bronze with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma is toffee, orange, light herb, leafy, biscuit, butterscotch. Quite sweet with light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily slick texture. Average to soft carbonation. Enjoyable.
