Panda from Ed. Thank you. I guess this would be an IPA - English if that sub-style ever gets added. Hazy murky brown with an orange tinge. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has low key jammy citrus and resin. Flavourwise it's again low key, even muted, but not offensive. Light bitter with a sour edge. Spice. Marmalade. Light-medium bodied. Slick to oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent.

Panda from Ed. Cheers. Slightly opaque dark brown. Thin white head just forms a <1mm thick band. Aroma has berries and caramel with underlying grainy malts. Flavourwise it's got a light sweet core with a sour edge. Underlying bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent bitter. Edit - have read the blurb, I see that this is an English IPA, a style that Brewver sadly lacks, and that does explain why this is more interesting than a twiggy bitter (which this was originally added as).
