Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 27/06/2025.
Murked up orange yellow, pineapple smoothie looker, topped with a lasting off white head.
Nose is bitter hops, raw tropical fruits, mango pulp, dank spike, grass, guava.
Taste comprises bitter orange, stone fruit, lychee, mango pulp, gooseberries, pine resin.
Medium bodied with some oomph, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost.
Solid QIPA ... punchy, resinous, maintains a bitter level and doesn't run sweet.

440ml can. Murky yellow, white head. Aroma of ripe citrus and tropical fruits, grapefruit, mango, gooseberry, grape. Taste is the same, ripe mango, papaya, grapefruit, gooseberry and grape, obviously some alcohol but it doesn't feel overly boozy at all, very well integrated. Full bodied. VERY nice QIPA.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, fairly light bodied but delivering a good creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine. Some hop spice nibble. Good rounded citrus, some brightness. Touches of white wine and gooseberry. A little stone fruits on the back end, the hop spice now chowing down like a dog on a bone. Impressive. Bloody drinkable. Lacks the obvious muscle of the very recent Cloudwater Chubby thang, but has a great intensity and coupled with a very good drinkability. Nice one.

Tap at Budapest Beer Week 2025, day 1. Hazy yellow-orange body, off-white, creamy head. Tropical, smooth, sweetish aroma. The alcohol, however, completely overwhelmed the taste in my example, covering the otherwise solid tropical-hoppy and malty base. Eh, shame it's just a festival rate.
