330ml panda from LCB. Clear dark gold with white head, good retention. Aroma has a fairly standard but relatively inviting malt, citrus, grapefruit with pine hint. Taste is sweet, resinous with moderate pine, grapefruit, touch of marmalade and papaya. Quite a punchy bitterness with spicy hints. Mid to full bodied, fairly smooth with a fine carbonation.
