Panda thanks to Wingman. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied pale malts, fairly sweet. Cooling pine, mild hop spice. Kinda sweetish ripe fruits here, guava bubbles to the top,some candy fruits in there. Light finish. A bit sweet and possibly a little skewed.

Thin loose head on a hazy golden coloured body.
Zippy citrus aroma.
Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a cloying back.
Malt, grain, chalky, white wine & zesty citrus tastes with a bitterly hopped finish.
Nicely balanced with a hop burst.

Aroma is piney, slightly dank. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness and significant sweetness with piney, citrusy flavors. A little too sweet for me.
