Panda thanks to Wingers. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness, fairly dry. Light pine. Modern Mosaic bringing a light but recognisable blueberry and a modest mango led fruitiness. Unusually for these days, the candy fruits element is not invisible but quite surpressed. Light and semi dry finish. Tidy modern Mosaic dipa.

Panda thanks to Wingers. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth and semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a little dry but an alright creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Slightly floral, getting on for perfumey, citrus. A touch of bright citrus with much riper citrus stalking it. Light and semi dry finish brings a decent mango vibe. Not bad at all.

Can on train to the Shires. Pours black with dirty tan head. Loads of chocolate, coffee, roast malt, waffles, chocolate brownie. Nice bitter hit. Not too sweet. Delicious.
