Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 01/08/21. Lightly hazed orange golden with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange peel, grass, straw, light hedgerow, herb. Taste comprises orange zest, straw, light woody notes, hay bale, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with modest hop bitterness. On the twiggy side of things ... mediocre at best.
