330ml can. Pours a hazy gold amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, caramel, toffee and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange, caramel, grapefruit and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Crushable.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear burnished gold beer, very small and very short lived off white head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts that manage to be both grainy and overly creamy sweet. Hops bring cooling pine into a resinous ripe citrus, slightly marmalade and slightly bitter. Light finish. Right then, much work to be done. The hop aspect is decent, the malts aspect a disaster frankly.

31/8/2025. Can shared by Colin, cheers. Good pour. Aroma is piney, citrus, orange, pineapple, papaya, malt. Moderate sweetness, quite bitter which is good but borderline harsh. Medium body, average carbonation. Finish is boozy, ripe, bitter.

Can at home, from Craftcentral.ie, 30/07/2025.
Almost clear golden orange topped with a lasting off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter orange, pineapple, grass, grapefruit, papaya.
Taste comprises bitter orange, light astringency, grass, grapefruit, hint of pine, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come earthy hop bitterness allied to a mellow boast.
A little raw and basic for the style.

Can from Super Amara, a city centre supermarket in San Sebastian. Dark amber with a head. Certainly strong, but its smooth texture helps neutralise this to an extent. Beyond its hoppy nose, some bready flavoured malts exist in taste.

Tap at Napargar, in the city of Pamplona. Black with an off-white head. Fair strength porter, which gives it a good body. Has a flavoursome mix of dark and roasted malts.

Tap at Mala Gissona, on a sunny day in San Sebastian. Golden with a small head and a light carbonation, also crisp wheat. Slightly milky with some breadiness in its finish. Decent blanche effort.

Draft sample @ Barcelona Beer Festival ’25.
Dorée, léger pale, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme sur un agrébale bouquet houblonné – fruité mais aussi pas mal de résine pour une approche bien classique. Finement floral en rétro-nasal avec des notes d’agrumes – léger malté pâle, carapils en retrait.
Palais est bien malté, pâle, fruité avc une touche d’agrumes – orange voire un peu de pamplemousse. Je note aussi un léger côté résine, floral – jasmin et une belle balance avec les malts.

Can from Super Amara supermarket in the pretty city centre of San Sebastian. Golden with a head. Understated but very drinkable for its strength. Some hoppiness and a light sweetness.
