Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 04/08/24. Murky orange topped with a lasting just off white head. Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, light floral notes, soft breads, papaya, melon. Taste comprises mixed tropical fruits, melon, papaya, mandarin, creamy malts, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness. Tidy enough easy drinking DIPA.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, sweet enough if lacking the pillowy body many top class DIPAs exhibit these days. Hop spice nibbles under a soft pine. Light smooth citrus, reasonably bright but with some peel tang. Finishes light and semi dry with a long hop spicy linger. Light and drinkable but lacks the 'everything but the kitchen sink' style of the best.

Thick white creamy head on a turbid milky pale golden coloured body. Pine, green & hopped aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Lime, pine, green hops, zesty citrus & bitterly hopped tastes. Excellent

Good times with good peeps, much love. Also this IPA tasted almost as good as being on a sailboat in 1984. Sweet sweet slight booze slight grassy hops.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of strawberry, biscuity malt, orange peel, wood. Pours murky orange, like fresh squeezed OJ, with an orange-ish white one finger+ head with great retention. Taste is lightly bittersweet with flavors like the aroma descriptors; finishes dry.
