Panda at home, thanks to Shig, 18/10/25.
Clear golden with a thin head.
Nose is modest guava, herb, straw, grains.
Taste comprises sweet tropical fruit syrup, grass, herb, guava.
Light bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a sweet rinse.
Passable and some but maybe the best of the Saudi country ticks.

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a crystal clear slightly dull gold colored body that supports a thin ring of white bubbles. The aroma offers up skittles candy like tropical fruitiness that's grounded in a faint sweet sugary malt character. The taste delivers similar candy like notes that I take are the guava and grapefruit but it's a little hard to discern. In the background there is a thin mesa of sugary sweet pale malts to this. Overall the fruitiness seemed to be a candy like extract or something that isn't real fresh cut fruit.

I just couldn’t help myself.. A short layover in Jeddah and found this tick while visiting an impressive supermarket near my hotel. Drank from the bottle as the only equipment here is a coffee cup. The aroma is mostly pineapple and then the guava comes out more when I taste it. Pretty sweet but quite a fun soft drink.

After a couple hour search to get over 21 Saudi ticks, we gave one last store a shot. We pulled into Hyper Panda, there was a bush screeching meows at us (ended up being a clowder of kittens) we saw on the way out. This was super nice super grocery store. We checked the bottles and cans in the cold singles display. Unfortunately nothing new. We went back to the NA Beer aisle and at first nothing looked new. Just as we were about to leave, there it was on the very top shelf tucked between other NA Beers, this would be the beer I became sole top rater of Saudi beers...well until I got back to my room and miscounted that this would actually put me 2 above #2/#3. Drank from the bottle like the beers here without proper glasses. Aroma is musty, citrus, like pineapple, guava. Taste is pink guava, tangy acidic pineapple, very little malt, light citrus.
