Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 09/07/24. Hazed orange with an off white head that retains well. Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, grass, melon, mellow kiwi hop kiss, light dank chimes. Taste comprises bitter orange, hint of perfume, grapefruit, stone fruits, grass, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come lightly dankened hop bitterness. Decent enough pale.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, plenty of creamy sweetness. The quartet of NZ hops bring crisp pine, 2024 Motueka Key Lime. A nice light savoury vibe here. Hop spice nicely peppered throughout. Modest tangerine on the light finish. Struggling to pick up any Nelson - hey ho! A 5.4% pale ale should be light and this is, where it rises above is the hop delivery, it's bright, fruity and spicy. Nice one.
