Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 03/08/2025.
Hazed orange topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is ripe tropicana, mandarin, raw pineapple, dank spike, grass.
Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit, pine needle, mandarin, melon, papaya.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Tidy DIPA but not really getting any Nelson from it.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky yellow colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, grassy, herbal. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, wheaty, herbal, earthy, light citrus, woody hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

440ml can, a gift from a friend. My fifth beer in a mini-tasting with myself at home on 11th July 2025. Poured into my huge 'Judas' glass it looked opaque yellow with a crust of white bubbles (soon to be a thin wisp and weak collar), bright but cloudy body. Citrus lemon like lead with a white grape mate close behind in the nose and initial taste, semi-sweet pineapple and melon take over before a slight orange 'twang' leads you to a light dry finish. The 8.2% ABV helps it along nicely.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this yellow gold beer, small and very short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, but a nice creamy sweetness delivered through it. Hops bring good cooling pine, a mild savoury skunk and bright if slightly thin citrus and tropical fruits. A fair serving of candy fruits on the back end. Light and very drinkable but perhaps not Azvex at their very best. Tad sweet overall. These are nit picks on a brewery who are so consistently good, they inevitably invite nitpicks.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Muddy greenish gold, very hazy with a small uneven film of white head. Aroma of dank hop, tropical and citrus fruit, some icing sugar. Taste is sweet at first, some weed, some mint, more tropical fruit. Intense and not what I was expecting. Medium body and carbonation. Good but a little too intense for what it is, doesn't quite hang together.

440ml can from The House of Trembling Madness. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, lemon, lime, tropical fruit. A smooth tasting sweetish and delicious DIPA. I drank it in less than 5 minutes.
