Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 14/03/2025.
Almost clear golden amber topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is orange jelly, soft malts, grass, mandarin, melon, perhaps a touch overly sweet and perfumed in its outlook.
Taste comprises bitter orange grass, pine needle, melon, mandarin, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close punctured with juicy come slightly grassy hop bitterness.
Ok WC IPA but not up to Rivingtons usual standards ... a little clunky.

Can. Just a mild haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Thin malts impart a modest sweetness, about right for this WCIPA. Crisp citrus hops, orange and orange peel bitterness. Touches of tangerine and mandarin. No earthy hop or hop skunk which you might expect when Columbus is around. Similarly no modern Simcoe pineapple and sadly, Nectaron seems to have gone through on stilts, just a tiny bit of stone fruits on the crisp finish. Tidy West Coaster was hoping for something a little more complex.

Left. Crisp, dankish and herbal hoppy with some pine, resin, peachy tropical fruits, grass, citrus and grapefruit, lingering bitterness in the finish. Pretty nice modern west coast IPA with proper bitterness.
