Can from Great Grog. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, pine and strawberry. Flavour of brown bread and orange. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A tasty and accomplished west coast IPA. One of Moonwake’s best beers.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 31/01/2026.
Hazed deep orange amber topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is stewed fruit, grains, brown bread, herb, straw.
Taste comprises biscuit, tangy fruits, herb, hedgerow.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Passable offering ... a touch on the harsh side.
