Can. Pours hazy pale straw with oversized, airy and quickly disappearing white head. Clear aroma of grapes and hops, with touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with citric notes and estery touches, all suddenly disappearing halfway up the palate. Rough, estery aftertaste with hoppy notes. Well, it is one of the few beers I have tasted and meant they were ghost-like, as they vanished into the thin air with no warning. Drinkable but the experience is, well, short-lived, too.

Can, 0.5%. The aroma is strangely fruity, very citric with notes of pineapple and cheese. Hazy very pale yellow colour. Unstable white head. The flavour is citric but less complex than the aroma. Also a little funky citrus here.

Can thanks to Andy. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Big snow white head. Nose - definitely lemon curd, alright. Creamy vanilla too. Taste - lemon curd, then dry lemon zest with funkiness at the back. Palate - light to medium bodied. Tangy, sour and funky middle and good persistent finish. Overall - nice.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 28/02/21. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is dark malts, mellow roast, chocolate, spice, light red berry notes. Taste comprises chocolate dipped cherries, Black Forest Gateaux, mellow roast, light spice, toffee, brow sugar dusting. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent impy ... does what it says on the tin in terms of getting the cherry profile across.

Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness with a touch of tart cherry. Medium to full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Nice cherry chocolate finish. Enjoyable.
