Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. The pale malts are reasonably smooth and have a fair amount of creamy sweetness and an equally fair amount of unwelcome grain. Light smooth pine, ripe citrus and ripe grape. The malt grain keeps coming back like a bad penny. Lame frankly, didn't even want to finish this 100ml serving.

Hazed orange to amber topped with a lasting just off white head.
Nose is orange pith, raw pineapple, grass, dank chimes, ripe melon.
Taste comprises bitter orange, pine resin, grass, raw pineapple, hop spice, mango flesh.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Tidy although marks docked for lacking Nelson presence.

Sweet, dankish and tropical fruity with some citrus and pine. Okay, quite sweet.

Fruity Nelson notes do white grape and sweet crushed gooseberry, some sweet creamy malty backbone, assertive hoppy Nelson forward solid hoppy finish. Lovely.

Magus, mehune, kerge mesi, mõru, kuiv. Ok.
