Panda from Colin. Cheers. Opaque amber. Thin bubbly translucent white head. Aroma has resin and jammy fruit. Flavourwise it's really quite bitter. Resinous. Gooseberry sour edge. Underlying corky malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. After the initial promising aroma the flavour is certainly bitter but one-noted.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy-opaque dark gold. Thin frothy foamy translucent white head. Aroma has sweet stone fruit with a prickly sour edge. Flavourwise it has bitter stone fruit and a sour edge and was probably served too cold. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Fine.
