Vibrant fruity notes of grapefruit and melon, pineapple, touch of lime, soft pillowy mouthfeel with a semi sweet malty backbone, balanced light bitter hoppy into the close. Very nice.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hady orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a tad thin, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, thin creamy sweetness, somewhat recessed. Crisp cooling pine. Boxy citric bitterness. Bright of thin citrus. A little hop spice and a light dry finish. Hop delivery is fairly average for me, the thin dry body, less than average.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 13/11/2025.
Murky orange topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter tropicana, grass, pine needle, mandarin, papaya.
Taste comprises dank chimes, grapefruit, pine resin, mandarin, hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Decent DIPA ... the NZ hops don't shine as much as I would have liked.

This brew is a cloudy dark yellow color with a medium frothy ivory white head that recedes gradually to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of herbal hop, tropical fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of grassy hops, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
