Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, bringing the dryness, a decent creamy sweetness albeit dry and thin. Hops bring cooling pine and a mild hop spice. A slightly bitter edge to the modest Motueka lime and Riwaka weird lychee vibes. Crisp fairly dry finish. Bitter tangy linger. A satisfying dipa. A smoother and less dry palate would have been more up my strasse but, entertaining anyway.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Pretty mellow dark malts for the style and the hefty abv. Some biscuity dark chocolate and powdery dark chocolate. Slightly spicy bourbon soaked fruits. Woody bitterness coming through on the back. Leaves a mildly warming afterglow. Drinks easy for the massive abv, other than that, an alright ba Impy that won't live too long in the memory.

Nagy, nem túl tartós hab, áttetsző, félbarna - rezes szín. Fűszeres, kissé fűves, enyhén gabonás illat. Fűszeres, komlós, fűves, enyhén gabonás íz. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavs, közepesen keserű. Nem rossz, de alig érezni a saisonos jegyeket.
gave a cheers!

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 13/07/2025.
Pitch black with a good sized dirty tan head that collapses over time.
Nose is treacle toffee, spice, herb, molasses, dark malts, liquorice.
Taste comprises dark chocolate, spice, molasses, toffee, liquorice, dried fruits.
Full bodied, slightly oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Decent enough sipper if lacking some depth.

Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of canned peach, pineapple, ripe passion fruit, apricot, Turkish delight, triple sec, cake, dough, white onion, vague diesel. Taste has sweet canned peach, pineapple & lychee in a smooth cake-like, doughy and creamy malt body; some dank & spicy white onion notes around it. Floral and peppery hops in the finish, softly bitter citrus peel but quickly countered again by juicy peach as well as sweetish and warming triple sec-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very much on the sweet side, but quite delightful.

16oz can, purchased in a pack from Total Wine. Poured a deep brown-black color, with a medium sized, foamy light-tan head. Flavor was rich roast with chocolate, maple, light mint, and a touch of cola. A dark and complex beer with layered sweetness and subtle depth.
