Draft: Poured a clear golden yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some dry floral hoppy notes and faint residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with some floral dry hoppy notes and a mostly dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Great lager with excellent drinkability that should be a mainstay.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 10/05/2026.
Hazed amber topped with a frothy white head.
Nose is caramel, orange peel, grass, straw, sugars.
Taste comprises grapefruit, caramel malts, sugars, sticky tropicana.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Very old skool, and not in a good way, sticky and sweet. Not for moi! Verging towards a barley wine in some ways. And as for the advertised hops, 2 of my faves, buried beneath sticky caramel sugaryness.

Des notes de sauvignon blanc légèrement épicées, des accents floraux, de la lime et de la groseille dans une palette aromatique puissante et complexe.
Un liquide doré et limpide.
Une mousse moyennement petite qui ne s’éternise pas tellement.
Une entrée de bouche très sèche, terreuse.
Des notes vineuses, calcaires, comme un sauvignon très sec.
Des notes poivrées, de la groseille, des raisins blancs, de la lime.
La finale est très sèche, épicée et terreuse, présentant une toute légère amertume.
Appréciée !

Hazed, orange colour - looking like mango juice, but not as thick. A bubbly yellowish head, average stay, with no lacing left. A nice blend of the mangos and guavas in the nose, with a touch of sourness. The sour continues into the taste, but does not linger too, too long. A wet mouthfeel with a short finish. Maybe a tad tart, but not much. Again, not too thick in the mouth, so more of the fruit juices, than purée. A really easy-to-drink, refreshing sour beer with both fruits.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a creamy, warm-white head, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Nectarine, mango fruitiness in the nose with a touch of citrus, hints of white wine and dank, funk. A silky-smooth, lightly creamy mouthfeel with a mild dryness in the finish. A little more citrusy in the mouth, over the peach, nectarine, mango and white grapes. A tad boozy, with building bitterness. Quite a good, juicy Double NEIPA from two breweries I like.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head but, it doesn't last. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness, a little natural grain. Nelson and Riwaka hops bring light cooling pine. Mild savoury hop and an even milder bitterness. A decent amount of Nelson grape and mild Riwaka exotics. Light and semi dry finish. It's fine but, so much competition with DIPAs these days, this is a little behind the curve.
