Panda thanks to SHIG, split at the mini Tipple lockdown tasting, Hazlemere, 29/08/20. Very lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, straw, grains, melon. Taste comprises pale malts, citric tinged straw, lemon rind, light citric sherbets. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close kissed with modest hop bitterness. Passable affair.
