Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Airy pale malts, a good creamy sweetness. Hop spice bites and never lets go, getting very slightly burny on the back end but, not botheringly so. Lemon and lime candy - I get that, underpinned by stone fruits and a little citrus. A good amount of savoury hop and a little hop skunk bitterness. Abundant hop spice on the finish, it keeps going and going and going.... Muscular!

So... lets be certain: this looks gross. Looks like muddy river water. Baby poop. 16oz can. Smells fun, rootbeer, strawberry fruit roll ups, vanilla, kirsch. Its sweet and the marshmallows and vanilla and rootbeer notes lead... but there is strawberry jam there, cherry too. Thick, sweet, chunky finish. Dessert beer.

16oz can pours a clear gold, some sticky white head. Nose is a little dustry with malt and dried straw, slightly new school with the hop aromas but you could tell just from the nose that it ain't hazy. Melon and lime. Grass too. Flavor drops the malt and really leans into new school and new world. Lime and grass, savory herbs and mint. Off dry, so not exactly West Coast, but still clear and pretty drinkable.

A4 draught, 5/23/26.
Easygoing without any alcohol or excess sugar. Melon and sweet white wine. Not a ton of acidity. Not hugely aromatic.
Soft and tingly with gummy fruits, juicy tangelo and kiwi. No big mineral but some acidity building. Not too sweet, not boozey. Still a bit messy with warming and big bitterness and chalk on the finish. But the oats help it keep mostly an even keel. There are interludes of excellent Nelson-like mineral. Interesting at the very least.

Tap at Peders, Copenhagen 23/05/2026 Intense juicy with lots of peach and nectarine, mango and tangelo, soft semi sweet creamy backbone, balanced to light bitter hoppy into the finish. Very nice.

Pours a hazy, grapefruit-pineapple juice color, with minimal head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with a light dankness. Flavors follow. Soft enough mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness at the finish.

Hazy yellow white head
Folded in on itself hazy hoppy herbal aroma.a with faint citrussy notes. Very faint or mild. No hint of high abv. Faint hint of exotic fruits
Flavor is bittersweet slightly exotic fruity hops juice mix with a chewy body and lots of malts. No noticeable hop bitterness towards and into the end but still an aftertaste that is sweet malty and grapefruity hoppy. Far aftertaste after 60 seconds is still about as strong as a sip of asolid ipa.
