Pours a murky orange with suspended chunks and no head. It smells very fruity, especially mangoes and oranges. The flavor is quite sweet with mangoes, oranges, and pineapple. There’s a little bitterness, presumably from hops, though in this case it brings grapefruit to mind because this basically tastes like juice.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A light haze on this mildly green tinted yellow beer, no real head to speak of. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, modest fine carbonation. Super sweet lemon and lime and maybe something pineapple - tropical. A pretty mild tartness provides some relief against the sugary nature of the core beer. These ain't terrible brews but they are too sweet, less sugar and a bit more tartness would really make these more palateable.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear blackberry colour beer, small bubbly pale blackberry colour head. Airy palate, light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fairly intense cherry blackberry flavour, pretty sweet but an underlying tartness does impart a much needed tension. Airy semi dry finish. Amusing in small quantities, would not want a pint.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 27/07/2025.
Beetroot red with a crimson cap that veers straight to the edge.
Nose is sweet cherry compote, sugars, black forest gateaux cherries.
Taste comprises much the same ... not worth thinking of the words.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Dog shit ... sweet and sugary crap.

Orange looking with an almost lime green lilt to it and topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is lime Opal Fruits, sugars, citric zest, straw.
Taste comprises sweet sugary lemon and lime ... managed about 30% of a panda.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest sour edge.
Overly sweet and sugary and delivering little refreshment ... another good (bad) example of this shit tier style ... I mean does anyone actually manage a full can of this on their own? I'm sure overall scores would drop if folks were forced to.
CRAP!
