7.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Pours crystal clear ruby with a large, fine lasting head.Nose shows pine, resinous hops, caramel, bready and toasty notes, a hint of nutty malt.Flavours include more toasty malt, caramel, alongside heavy piny and resinous hops with a slight petrol-like note. Lots of sweetness in the syrupy finish, perhaps too much.

Can is 7.0% ABV. Packed 12 March. Clear deep gold with a cm of white head that's soon enough less than a coat. Lots of citrus, some herbal notes, pine, bread, a touch of caramel. Medium bodied. Carbonation is moderate. Very clean and moderately sweet with... erm discreet malt flavours -- but there's enough to support the aromatics, which are joined by some berries. Very clean with a fairly bitter finish. Punchy rather than vibrant. Good but lacks rumbustiousness.

From a 500ml bottle on 27/2/2021 (shared with Butz, 2018 vintage, ABV 11.2%). Pours a deep amber/dark brown with a smallish head. Has a lovely nose featuring toffee, caramel, dark fruit, and Christmas cake, with just a whiff of booze. Tastes pretty much the same as it smells, with a good dash of raw sugar, finishing with a quite sharp spicy finish, again with some bourbon booze in the mix. My only gripe is the mouthfeel, which is a bit thin and lacking in body for a beer of this size. A very solid sipper, if not quite blowing me away.

From a 440ml can on 26/2/2021. Pours a clearish medium golden with a medium head. The aroma is modest with muted citrus and stone fruit. Flavour wise, there's a fair bit of sweet orange, and some peach. Finishes with a modest tangy bitterness, and just a hint of booze. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation softish. Drinkable enough, but pretty basic, and unexciting.

375ml can from Beer52. Drank at home on 31st Jan 2021. Misty golden body, white topping. Not as Dank or Bitter as the name suggests, but I suppose calling it 'Dull & Boring' wouldn't be a selling point!

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 14/01/21. Almost clear orange with a decent off white head. Nose is grass, sweet malts, bitter tropical fruit shreds, light perfumed effect. Taste comprises orange peel, grass, melon, pineapple, light weed. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest lightly dankened hop bitterness. Ok stuff .... no great for sure.
