Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 07/03/21. Clear golden amber with a decent off white cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is dusty fruits, hedgerow, crackers, cereals, pale malts. Taste comprises toasted grains, hint of toffee, biscuit, dull fruit tones, tea leaves. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so affair ... the twigometer is rising through amber!

Cask at the Steamboat Inn, Carsethorn, near Dumfries. Pale amber with a white head. A light taste at first grows (like any decent bitter) into something that's actually quite more-ish. Light florals, biscuit and a touch of wood, with a dry and moderately bitter finish.

Pint at Counting House in Glasgow. Clear amber beer with a thin creamy head. Light hoppy smell. Flavour is light bitter hop with a lemony twist. Unremarkable but fine.
