Crisp and refreshing this pale ale is a favourite at festivals. Very hoppy with citrus tones and a dry bitter finish.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham / Grumbo, 30/01/23. Golden to light copper with a white crown that clears edgewards. Nose is stewed fruits, grains, grass, herb. Taste comprises fruit rinds, vinous, hedgerow, twiggy, herb, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so golde ... twigometer rising through amber!

21/1/2023. Bottle shared at the first ITFC 2023 beer share. Bought direct from the brewery. Pours clear golden with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, stone fruits, yeast, malt, grass, light herb. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Oily, average carbonation. Nice bitterness to finish. Not bad.

Bottle drunk at home as part of a delivery from the brewery. Pours light to mid-gold, clear with a negligible film of white head and a bit of soapy lacing. Gentle aroma of lemon curd, white grapefruit, hay. Taste is bitter and relatively astringent, leading to a long finish with even more astringency. It's fairly dull, but it's decent enough, and grows on me.
