Crowler from Beer Run, 4/6/24. Filled about 4 hours ago. Murky orange, thick looking pour. Medium tan head, average retention. Aroma of tangerine, melon, pale malt, hint of vanilla. Taste is tangerine, orange, vanilla, melon, passionfruit. Low bitterness, and no hint of the 9% ABV. Dangerous. Nice.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 07/04/24. Murky pineapple mixed banana smoothie looker with a thin white cap that veers edgewards ... as it settles its more like a dirty egg nog ... not a looker, can't warrant more than a 2 I'm sad to say !!! Nose is ripe citric flesh, pineapple, mandarin, grass, dank chimes, grapefruit. Taste comprises sharp tropical fruits, green hop bite, bitter tropical fruits, grapefruit, lychee. Medium bodied, fine to moderate carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness. Passable affair ... looks shit and the execution of the beer didn't help pull the score back for me despite giving some panda sympathy!
