440ml can from Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky dark reddish pink colour with little life. The aroma is milky and big raspberry. The flavour is moderate sweet and sour, with a smooth, super rich, tart raspberry, sweet white chocolate vanilla palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. It’s nice, but is it even a beer?

Can from Sainsbury's, Wycombe. Purpley red with a pale pink head and an obvious fizz. Blackcurrants, cream and blackcurrant leaves. Moderate sourness. Bit too fizzy for my liking, and certainly one-dimensional, but very enjoyable nevertheless.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 04/12/2025.
black topped with a tan head that soon vanishes.
Nose is chocolate, honeycomb, light booze tunes, dark malts, molasses.
Taste comprises Crunchie bar, toffee, chocolate melt, honeycomb, molasses, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Fun pastry impy if a little overly sweet for my palate and needs some balancing aspect to the sweet onslaught! Sips fine for 15% though!

Can shared. Thick red to purple color. Aroma and flavor are, well, liquid jam basically. Okay. 8-5-6-7-5
