Nose is juicy tropicana, sweet edged, vanilla, mandarin, orange creme.
Taste comprises sweet malts, grass, mandarin, papaya, mango pulp.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness: murky deep golden body with an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, caramel and lemon sponge. Flavour of peach yoghurt, mango and apricot. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Fruity and slightly sweet.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head but it doesn't last. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a fair creamy sweetness, not overdone but not shy fer sure. The hops are bring crisp cooling pine and juicy stone fruits and tropical fruits. Bright citrus but, underneath everything else. A little hop spice nip on the fairly crisp finish. Pretty quaffable but, I didn't enjoy this as much as any of the single hop affairs.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy orange. Foamy white head on a stick. Aroma has bitter citrus, herbs, spice, onion. Fruity. Flavourwise it has a big sweet yet boozy fruit. Peripheral bitterness - resin, spice and herbs and onion. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice for sure.

500ml can. Murky golden with a white head. Aroma of overripe tropical fruits, sweet and slightly savoury. Taste is sweet, overripe mango and stone fruits, slightly savoury. Medium bodied.
Another solid addition to the series, yet still not hitting the heights of the original Citra one.
