Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a decent light creamy sweetness. Hop spice starts to nibble straight away and keeps going. Good cooling pine into light but juicy hop fruits, light citrus and mild tropical fruits. Some savoury skunk on the back end before a semi dry and reintensified hop spice. Impressive!

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Milky golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of mango and melon. Flavour of melon, lime and mint. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An interesting hop combo that really shines; the limey Motueka is delicious.
