330ml panda from LCB. Pours a hazy orange-gold with wispy white head. Aroma of lime, flora, herbs, cheesecake biscuit base. Taste of passionfruit, pineapple, flora. Quite creamy with a slight coconut edge. Medium to full bodied, quite warming.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Light hazed gold with small white head, good retention. Quite hoppy even for a pilsner and certainly interesting but not sure the balance is top notch. There is a floral and slightly dank weed notes with biscuit, bread and paper like malts that clash somewhat. Nice bitterness and crisp carbonation though.

Tap from Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Hazy dull opaque gold but with solid white head and good lacing. This one had notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, minerals, light herbs. Lacks bitterness and punch but is quite tasty and sessionable.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo Street, Birmingham. Near black with small beige to tanned head. Notes of dark malts, blackcurrant, cola sweets, coffee. Roasty dry finish but everything up to that point is sweet. Interesting.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Hazed bright orange, no head. Tropical mango and guava aroma. Taste is fruity and tart, moderately sour, with the mango and passionfruit coming out in particular, touch of cereal. Medium bodied, spiky carbonation. A bit better than expected, some good balance here.
