473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. (Citrusy) fruity, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of lemon and melon, a touch of lychee, mango and passion fruit, woody pineapple overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally sugary, pale malty, slightly oaty, wheaty and crystal malty, (citrusy) fruity hoppy notes of orange, some lemon, melon, woody pineappe, hints of white grapes, a touch of lychee; well hidden alcohol. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Surprisingly light and rather watery, not much intensity - clearly below average in the style.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light crisp pine. A decent hop spice nibble. Fairly bright citrus with a nice mildly ripe pineapple vibe. Smooth finish.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, sweet enough if lacking the pillowy body many top class DIPAs exhibit these days. Hop spice nibbles under a soft pine. Light smooth citrus, reasonably bright but with some peel tang. Finishes light and semi dry with a long hop spicy linger. Light and drinkable but lacks the 'everything but the kitchen sink' style of the best.
