Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, some short-lived white bubbles on top and aroma of sweet, cough medicine, candy. Taste is sweet, medicinal, tangy, honey, marzipan, plasticy, boozy. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carboation, dry boozy finish. Quite OK.

Panda pop thanks to Shig, supped a la home, 29/08/20. Almost clear golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is tangerine, mango shreds, lychee, grass. Taste comprises grass, citric zest, papaya, lemon rind, toasted grains, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. Not for a revisit but a passable sessionable pale.
