Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light and pleasing creamy sweetness. Mild crisp pine, juicy citrus, limey citrus, slightly tangy stone fruits into a mildly dry finish that shows a little hop spice. Bright and breezy.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma is very New Zealandy, gooseberry, apricot, lime. Taste is the same, lots of apricot, lime zest, melon, gooseberry, although not too sweet there is almost no bitterness for balance, my only real complaint. Medium bodied. Nice one.
