Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 30/11/24. Hazed orange to golden topped with a big old lasting white head. Nose is mellow citric flesh, grass, melon, papaya, soft malts, orange peel. Taste comprises melon, floral notes, papaya, faint soapy wash, grapefruit, soft malts, pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy hop bitterness. Okay DIPA but a little soapy back note puts me off somewhat.

16th November 2024 Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly smooth and mildly dry, a decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth and fairly light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Hops bring mild pine and a hop spice nibble that never escalates. A very pleasant mango and guava slightly ripe tropical fruit richness, never gets stodgy thanks to light bright citrus with a touch of pink grapefruit. Nice touch of light savoury hop. Light crisp finish, finds the hop nibble carrying on well into the aftertaste. A crispy and hop fruity rewarding brew.

Very creamy, coats the glass, stone fruit, especially peach, little tangerine action. Classic #snakefruit

Thanks Barry! Hope you’re having fun in Smashville!
