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.

7th September 2024 Can. Pretty much a clear amber beer, small tidy pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft smooth malts, a little savoury caramel creamy sweetness. Ripe hop fruits, bitterish but oddly smooth citrus peel. A little savoury caramel and citrus peel on the light and semi dry finish. Solid brew. The mix of old fashion malts and rich ripe peel hops make this a winner.
