Undated can drunk 8/23/26.
Spicy, zesty, lightly herbal from the Mosaic, adding a bit of lemon pepper or maybe even a hint of dill, but not allium. Otherwise, there's deep, white bread-like malt, no toast, no caramel, no overboiled hop, but also, perhaps, not as intensely hoppy/aromatic as I'd hoped.
Similar to the nose, the hops don't exactly explode or dazzle. There is a lot of bitterness with pine, grapefruit rind and grass. Very traditional in that sense. Deep, honey-and-white-bread-like malts mostly balance and dry out on the finish. Lingering lemon, pineapple, slight minerality and unripe tropical fruits. Perfectly competent, but too traditional for my liking. Despite the lack of the traditional malt, the heavily bitter, pine-and-grapefruit-tinged hops dampen the brightness/complexity. Nothing against Brujos; this is one of the inherent flaws of the original WC IPA, in my opinion, and why I hate it so much.

16oz can pours a clear gold with a thin ring of white head. Nose has some soap and malt and honey and some pine. Flavor has malt, grass, orange rind, soap some pine. Just off dry. Old school and approachable but unspectacular.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Clear gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, clean and sweet enough for the style. Soft juicy citrus, slightly ripe, a touch of peel bitterness. Some tropical things going on underneath and coming to the fore just before a light finish. A mild bitter linger. Nicely pitched modern West Coaster.

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 22/03/2025.
Clear golden topped with a white cap that soon vanishes.
Nose is sweet edged, vanilla essence, candied orange peel, grass, melon.
Taste comprises orange zest, grass, pine needle, grapefruit, mandarin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Tidy west coast affair although the nose was a little overly sweet and stopped this from gaining a better score from me.

473ml can. Minimally milky, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy to macropore, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Minimally perfumed, resinous, piney and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, biscuity, pale malty basis, notes of pineapple, some lemon, a touch of orange and grapefruit. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy fruity, piney, slightly resinous, minimally woody hoppy, minimally spicy, pale malty basis with low residual sweetness and a touch of cracker, hints of tangerine, lemon, some pineapple, orange, pine.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very clean, homogeneous, quite some subtleties, not overly intense - decent.
