Panda thanks to Cloin. Pretty much a clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Soft palate, modest fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, sweet enough. The hops bring candyish ripe pineapple and a touch of well rounded citrus. Mild bitterness on the soft finish. Tasty but, could do with a bit more carbonation.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. A hazy-opaque amber-orange. Thin frothy translucent white head. Powerful aroma - big and fruity. Citrus with a sour edge. Spice. Some resin. Marmalade. Flavourwise it's tangy and sour with a big sugary sweet streak. Funky. Slightly vinous. Spice and herbs. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.

Can at home, from Beer Merchants online, 05/04/2026.
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with a good sized just off white head that settles to a swirl.
Nose is pineapple, grass, melon, mandarin, soft malts.
Taste comprises orange peel, grass, pineapple, grapefruit, faint pine needle.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Okay easy drinking and old skool leaning DIPA. Fine to sip but doesn't deliver the bitterness and hop dynamic I crave in this era!

Aromas are malt, pineapple, citrus, resin. Flavors are similar to nose and lean a bit bitter. Add in a touch of MJ. Fullbodied and okay carbonation.

Imperial pint can. Dank pineapple aroma with notes of mango, papaya, grapefruit, floral and pine resiny hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy pineapple, papaya and floral hop flavors. Finishes dry but still smooth with mango, grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Pretty good hazy.

19.2 oz can from Albertsons. Foggy golden pour, small but sturdy white fluffy head, spotty lacing. Light fruity citrusy aroma, pineapple. Taste kicks into gear with zesty pineapple flavors (short-lived), citrus and a little warmth.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours somewhat hazy orange/gold with a large foamy white head that did some lacing. Aroma is dank with some pineapple. Med body. Juicy, but barely sweet. Dank but not all that bitter. Pineapple and pine for flavor with some discernible pale malt support. Nice drink.
