Can at home, 23rd May 2025. Pours a rich clear copper. It’s hoppy and piney on the nose, with a hint of caramel. Taste is bitter, resinous, malty, lovely westie

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear amber beer with a small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Malts bring a pretty modest creamy sweetness and a fair dose of unsweet caramel. Dry piney hop intro into mild skunk a reasonably bright citrus peel. Light crisp finish leaves a mild bitter linger. For me a good West Coaster, goes right up to the boundary of what annoys me about this style but never crosses it, stays coherent and pretty darn suppable.
