Panda at home, thanks to the Wingman, 24/07/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is ripe tropicana, lychee, perfume, orange peel, pineapple, pine resin.
Taste comprises guava, mandarin, lychee, pine resin, floral, perfume.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
It's okay but overly sweet and perfumed and lacking bitterness for my liking ... almost slightly sickly in places!

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of Reese’s PB cups, peanuts, marshmallow, and cocoa — mostly PB cups though. Flavour is less sweet than expected, with lots of PB cups, cocoa, light sugars, and some marshmallow. Tons of peanut butter cups on the finish without the requisite sweetness, and it’s not too artificial. Fun stuff for what it is.

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is very seltzery, with gentle floral hops and a touch of piney hops. Flavour is rather uncoordinated, with seltzery notes, muffled hops, some pine, and light citrus. Finishes dry and crisp. Not the best hop expression, and far from a superior WCIPA. Meh.
