Beer/cider 4,000. Sample courtesy of Danlo. Cheers. Very woody and warming alcohol. Certainly a sipper and a great way to bring up 4,000 not out.

Panda at home, Thanks to Ed Danlo, 24/05/2026.
Pale golden yellow topped with a thin white cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is funky, light sulphuric tones, tannins, apple core.
Taste comprises sharp apple, straw, herb, farmyard nip, light acidity.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Tidy as always from Olivers although the nose was a little off putting.
