Hazy medium to deep orange-brown body, thin cream head. Creamy and sweet, a gummy peach creamsicle with marshmallow evident in the nose and body. Sweet but not excessive.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 15/10/23. Murky faded red meets orange meeting in a Sangria like way with little in the way of a head. Nose is zingy red berries, hedgerow, vanilla essence, creamy malts. Taste comprises tangy blackberries, vanilla, very reminiscent of a trifle, lactic tang, fruit punch tasting how it looks ... shades of Sangria! Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering edge. It's passable for the sub genre ... did they really import the cream from Germany?

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingman, 12/10/23. Moderately hazed orange golden with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, honey vibes, soft malts, light stoned fruits. Taste comprises orange peel, honeycomb, straw, grapefruit, mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with light juice laden hop bitterness. It's fine ... sips easy and not overly sweet ... not sure it's ever a good idea to add honey to beer mind!

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 02/09/23. An unattractive murky washed through reddish purple paint brush water with a thin crimson cap. Nose is bubblegum, granola, coconut shavings, mixed tropical fruits. Taste comprises sweet fruits, berry skins, grape juice, sugars, coconut. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest puckering edge. Pastry sours just don't do it for me ... this one looked terrible and was overly sweet and lacking 'sour'.
