14/11/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear dark amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, bread, biscuit, dried fruit, brown sugar, touch of spice. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily/sticky texture, soft carbonation. Not my favourite style but pretty good example.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 27/10/21. Almost clear orange with a good sized off white head that settles as a swirl. Nose is tangerine, melon, pale malts, straw, grains. Taste comprises orange peel, grass, melon, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness. Passable offering ... ultimately lacks citric depth and hop presence.
