We hope to bring an end to the bland European lagers that are ever-present in our Island pubs and restaurants and lead the way in bringing craft, modern beers to the Isle of Wight with the Island's first microbrewery. Using only the highest quality natural British ingredients, and brewing in a sustainable way, we want to bring our passion for the Island into every beer we brew. We are proud to say that all of our natural beers are unfined, unfiltered, unpasteurised and 100% vegan.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham / Grumbo, 20/08/23. Almost clear golden orange with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is airy malts, orange zest, grass, melon, floral notes. Taste comprises bitter citric shreds, citric tinged straw, hedgerow, herb, grass, grains. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close with modest hop bitterness. Passable pale .... a little on the harsh side and over carbonated.

Can at the April DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a clear copper orange color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was a little too herbal, a little too earth. Some light floral notes but not overly hoppy. Just fine.
