Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth and mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation coming through just after the mid. Light malts bring adequate sweetness. Finally a brew that brings this new Manilta hop front and centre. Soft pine and mild but persistent nibbly hop spice. Soft and slightly candyish red grapefruit. Something else going on that is hard to pin down, kinda watermelon-ish, trace of red berries. Light finish leaves the hop spice lingering on. Hmm! Still don't feel I fully understand this hop but, this brew from Spyglass I think has brought me closer. Seems unique Manalita but, also quite enigmatic. Back end gets more intense and juicy. Yeah, doing it for me.

Panda at home, thanks to The Wingmane, 19/04/2025.
Almost clear faded orange topped with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl.
Nose is orange zest, nectarine, soft malts, melon, papaya.
Taste comprises mellow tropical fruits, grass, mandarin, papaya, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness.
Okay hop shizz.

Can (1/7/25) from Liquor Junction, N. Andover. Deeply hazy yellow with tons of sparkle, lots of floaties, thin creamy head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong musky fruit, tropical fruit. Taste is strong unusual candied fruit (?like a yellow smartie?), mango. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol, finish as taste. Interesting hop/flavor and really nice mouthfeel. Floaties detract from an otherwise nice look.

16 oz. can thanks to tfontana. TY Tom. Nose shows mild melon and papaya. Flavor pops pretty good. Lots of juicy tropical fruit with cantaloupe like notes. Zero bitterness, medium body. Nice drinker. Also, Go Birds. Fly Eagles Fly!!
