On September 2, 2014, An opened the doors to The Answer Brewpub, his very own craft brewery.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingman, 20/02/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a light egg shell white covering that thins to a swirl and edge work in time.
Nose is orange zest, pineapple, grass, grapefruit, dank strokes, pine resin.
Taste comprises bitter tropical fruits, raw pineapple, a little alcohol heat, hop spice, pine resin, guava, mango pulp.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a light warming boost.
Tidy easy drinking QIPA but there is a little heat about it.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Just a mild haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Palate is pretty light for the abv. Light soft pine. Nice to taste the (IMHO) much underused Lotus hops, that impart that lovely Orange Mivvi vibe. Soft tropical fruits. Back end shows the abv teeth with a bit of a vodka fruit cocktail, no real alcohol heat mind. Nice QIPA, goes down alarmingly easy.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is lots of creamy milk chocolate with cocoa, roasted malt, chocolate cake. Thick creamy body, a little warming booze down the throat. Sweet, roasty bitter. Rich, tons of chocolate, I love it.

Can shared at the CBJ tasting, thanks to Dave, 12/06/24. Clear golden with a thin white cap that escapes to the edge. Nose is pale and bready malts, straw, faint lemon rind, cereals. Taste comprises toasted grains, herb, bready pang, straw, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Tidy logger-bier.
