Panda thanks to Wingman. Hady orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a tad thin, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, thin creamy sweetness, somewhat recessed. Crisp cooling pine. Boxy citric bitterness. Bright of thin citrus. A little hop spice and a light dry finish. Hop delivery is fairly average for me, the thin dry body, less than average.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a decent but dry creamy sweetness. Bold hop choice. Dolcita obvious, coconut cream and a little semi ripe pineapple, standing in contrast with Riwaka exotics and savoury skunk. Nectaron coming through on the back end and delivering good stone fruits. Light touches of bitterness and hop spice. Light and semi dry finish. Interesting. Kinda feels like one of those aging rock groups that have reunited for a lucrative tour. They make good music but, the underlying tensions are obvious.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 13/11/2025.
Murky orange topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter tropicana, grass, pine needle, mandarin, papaya.
Taste comprises dank chimes, grapefruit, pine resin, mandarin, hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Decent DIPA ... the NZ hops don't shine as much as I would have liked.
