Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. A pleasing amount of Nelson grape here, like tangy white wine gone very slightly ripe. Citra does what Citra does and delivers very mild skunk and good bright mandarin and tangerine vibes. Comes together well into a light bright juicy and slightly hop spicy finish. If you had given me a glass of this and told me it was 7% IPA, I would have believed you. Very nice QIPA.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Just a light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Tropical fruits nose. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a nice light sweetness. Punchy tropical fruit hops, almost sour pineapple cubes along with soft pine and touches of floral guava and light citrus. Finishes light and leaves a long tropical fruit linger. Unlike my good pal and drinking buddy below, I am a fan of this brewery.

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 27/10/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a lasting just off white head.
Nose is orange zest, grass, faint soapy notes.
Taste comprises orange peel, grass, light soap, straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with modest hop bitterness.
Again ... very average fayre dished up by this brewery when you dump more than half a panda worth!

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 25/10/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose carries more soapy notes, as per the last D96 beer, sweet malts, pineapple, grass.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, pineapple, soapy tones.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow juicy hop bitterness.
Not great ... soap has taken hold.
Really not a fan of this brewery full stop tbh ... very Dr Nick Riviera.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 25/10/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a creamy white cap that retains.
Nose is raw tropicana, grass ,pine nibble, guava.
Taste comprises pineapple, soapy tang, melon, airy malts, pine needle, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness.
Hmmm ... just an overriding soapy twang lets this one down ... bitter sweet balance is fine and sips easy for 12%.
