Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Big bubbles! Light smooth. Light malts, thinnish. Light pine. Modest citrus, some peel. Light finish. Comes over as a wishy washy apa more than a lager. Light and semi dry finish. Okay. Very hard to get excited about.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Pretty much a clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, sweet enough, not much of that pillowy creamy sweetness you get in so many DIPAs these days. Light cooling pine. It's a West Coaster, so expecting citrus peel and finding it in spades, not that bitter though. Brighter citrus also here, juicy too. Centennial, not quite a classic presentation but still makes it's presence felt with piney soft tangerine and a whiff of ripe lemon. For a West Coaster, pretty good but failing to deliver any real bitterness.
