Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, some sweetness, kinda moot with the added vanilla. A decent orange and mandarin vibe goes well with the vanilla. Some cooling pine on the light finish. Ice Cream DIPA? Why not? Just hope these are occasional offerings and not a new brewer fad.
