Taster at brewery. Hazy yellow pour, thin skin of head, streaky lacing. Fruity, yeasty aroma. Taste has notes of apple and pear, grassy, yeasty, sweet. Think the Mandarina has a lot to do with the fruitiness.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a black to dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up cola, honey sweetened coffee, a bit of chocolate and then a mild boozy barrel character. The taste delivers sweet candy like flowing quickly into sweetened dark roasted coffee. To midway a mild boozy spirits like sensation murmurs to the surface briefly amid a sea of sweeter malts and thin ribbons of chocolate. This works pretty well and I enjoy the mild mannered barrel treatment allows the 'beer' flavours to dominate. Fun beer.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a clear pure deep gold colored body that has thin copper hues and supports a thin ring of white bubbles. The aroma offers up a blend of tart smelling citrus and a fair sense of the sage herbs. The taste delivers benign tartness, which I'm digging actually. Wait, second sip comes across with enhanced tartness to a thin vinegar flavor. The sage is well off in the background and I'm failing to discover much, if any, blackberry. There are other, possibly barrel treatment notes, that are faint and difficult to describe. Fun beer.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a slightly murky deep gold with a copper hued colored body that supports a tiny white head. The aroma offers up all sorts of vinegar, woody barrel character and then a thin vague wine like sensation. If I think about cherries I can just sense them. The taste delivers a nice even balanced flavor. I get equal amounts of mild vinegar and red wine flowing into an increasing woodiness and mildly tart cherries. At times it ends with a sense of bready sweet malts peaking from behind the modest finishing tartness tinged with tannin like astringency. Solid offering. I'm digging it.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a clear pure deep gold colored body that has thin copper hues and supports a thin ring of white bubbles. The aroma comes across as mostly lavender with a mild murmurs of 'beer' notes in the background. The taste delivers similar notes that are mostly lavender based. Behind the lavender treatment are lesser notes of mildly soured citrus as well as a sense of the malts. Into the finish the tartness ramps up with a lime like character to it. Nice.
