Big PB aroma, but tastes sour. Something has turned in this one.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is rather tropical. Arguably med body. Flavor is melon, floral, passion fruit. Pale malt in support. A bit less than really dry. Nice, moderate level of bitterness. It has that tingle I associate with passion fruit and pineapple. Not acid tho. Good lager.

Can (5/2/23) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Opaque dark brown with nice sparkle, a few floaties, thin cap of head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong cinnamon, sweet roasted malt and mild vanilla. Taste is strong cinnamon, sweet malt, vanilla. Smooth, thick texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Tasty but mostly just cinnamon.

(Thanks, BlackHaddock!) Can. A- Passion fruit, peach, gummies, grapefruit. A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Grapefruit, passion fruit, pine, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- I let this sit around for too long but still pretty solid. Huge tropical gummy nose and not a ton of bitterness on the palate either. As old as this was it still tasted pretty fresh. Well made.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep dark colored body that supports a thin mocha colored head of bubbles. The aroma offers up a fair load of chocolate covered coconut as well as a bit of malts and a hint of German dark bread. The taste delivers a smooth entrance into soft sweet malts and chocolate malts and then a growing modest roasted maltiness. Throughout there's a persistent cinnamon spice that becomes more apparent the more I think about it. Solid offering.

16oz can from Texas Wines, Carlsbad (as Conan's Wrath). Drank in Laguna Hills on 23rd July 2023. Thin white head on a cloudy yellow body, it's dank and piney with a weird citrus twist.
