Panda courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Very pale clear yellow gold colour, short-lived bubbly head and aroma of apple, citrus, vanilla. Taste is sweet & tart, appley, zesty citrusy, with some vanilla notes. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying citric finish. Quite drinkable.

Pint can from Beer Run, 8/8/23. Clear gold, thin head, poor retention. Aroma of tart apple, tart orange, vanilla extract. Taste is sweet apple, vanilla, sweet orange. Vanilla is a tad bit artificial. Overall okay.
