Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a little unsweet caramel and thin cream. Crisp light pine. Bright citrus peel, juicy, tangerine and a little blood orange. Light semi dry finish. Good west coaster.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Nice hop combo, broad spectrum Galaxy fruitiness elevated by the brightness lemon edged Azacca. Very light skunk and grape on the back end evidences some decent NS went in to this brew. Bright and fruity and effortlessly drinkable.

Can. A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness does it's best to be dominant but the hops here show them who's boss. Light cooling pine into a tangy bitterness and some savoury skunk. Soft citrus, a touch of bitterish melon, some suggestions of tropical fruits. Smooth finish delivers some juicy hop fruits. Good stuff, I think more could have been done with this very good quintet of hops but, overall a good all round hop character dipa.

Can. A mild haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. A light and crisp palate, mildly dry. Smooth if slightly thin feeling malts, sweet enough. Nice trio of hops. Light crisp pine intro into a lovely balance of juicy stone fruits and citrus. Natural stone fruit tang. Quite a peachy back end along with a mild hop spice nibble. Bright and satisfying.
