Panda at home, thanks to the Bearded Avenger, 13/06/2026.
Golden amber topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is orange peel, grass, grapefruit, pine nip, melon.
Taste comprises bitter orange, pine needle, grapefruit, grass.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with mellow juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Not bad if a touch thin.

Sour and sherberty citrus with a slightly smoother sweet fruit edge. Underlying malts and a chalk element (presumingInknow what chalk actuallytastes like). Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy going NEPA.

Keg at Shirker' Rest, New Cross. Clear chestnut. Foamy off-white head. Aroma has burnt caramel sweetness, liqourice and herbs. Sweetness prevails. Flavourwise it's similar albeit they're is a herbal bitterness over burnt caramel sweetness. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Easy drinking but still perky BIPA.

440ml can thanks to Neal for grabbing this for me from the taproom.
Pours black with a big tan head dissipating nicely. Aroma of dark malts, molasses, caramel, dark fruits, chocolate. Taste is rich and malty, plenty of umami here, molasses, dark fruits, caramel, leather, chocolate, some roast malts giving some bitterness - would've liked a lot more of this as it's quite sweet overall. Full bodied, smooth.
