Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 09/06/2026.
Hazed orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is ripe tropicana, mandarin, papaya, grapefruit.
Taste comprises subtle hop spice, papaya, mandarin, stone fruit, pine resin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a mellow rising boost.
Tidy TIPA.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a little soft, modest fine carbonation. Soft creamy sweet pale malts, too sweet. Soapy candy fruits hops. A little soft pine. Traces of more interesting and pleasing hop fruits but, hard to get excited about with the, for me, other major flaws. A little hop spice on the soft finish. Nope.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft smooth pale malts, a very forward creamy sweetness, too much for my liking. The hops sounded promising but, again with this brewery, I'm getting soapy candy fruits, some Nelson grape and sweet overripe citrus. Airy finish. I just don't think my palate is cut out for AT brews.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A hazy orange gold beer with a small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, slightly soft, modest fine carbonation. Soft creamy sweet pale malts. The hops bring a curious smorgasbord. Soft pine and rounded mildly overripe citrus. A touch of soapy candy fruits. Some Nelson grape. Trace of hop spice. Didn't float my boat but, at least it was more interesting than the normal Citra Mosaic based brews.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A hazy gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Typical AT Mosaic and Citra affair. Mosaic taking the lead here, quite candyish. Motueka a little lost but does provide some fruity tang. Mild hop spice on the finish. Nothing wrong with this but I am bored of AT doing the same thing over and over.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, a little dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a little thin for the style. Tangy dark chocolate. A touch of roast. Rich ripe dark fruits. A little alcohol spice on the fairly light finish. Nowt wrong with this. That said, it bored me. Badly!

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light bodied pale malts bring a pretty forward creamy sweetness. Somehow, the body and the sweetness work together well. Candy fruits hop dominate the back end. Lesser amounts of sweetish stone fruits and citrus. A fairly light finish leaves a hop spice linger. Quite sweet overall which would normally turn me off but, here it works well enough.
