Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 17/09/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a good sized lasting white head.
Nose is orange pith, grass, pine needle, pineapple, ripe melon.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, grass, pine needle, mandarin, light breads.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness allied to a mellow boost.
Tidy easy drinking and approachable TIPA. Perhaps lacks some umph but never runs overly sweet.

Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head that persists longer than average. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, definitely bordering thin. A mild creamy sweetness. Hops bring crisp cooling pine. A fair dose of tangy bitterness HBC1019 (or for the latest naff commercial hop name - Dolcita - Jesus! ) brings forward coconut and a little ripe pineapple. More tangy bitterness. A little citrus, semi ripe, reasonably juicy. Light finish leaves a mild bitter tangy linger. Not bad. Not quite harmonious for me, too many disparate strands, needs to be centred. Still, quite drinkable.

Rich and thick. Quite sweet but not quite cloying. Some gooey dark sugars, chocolate, bourbon, burnt toffee, moderate roast. Boozy kick. Lightly sticky and warming to finish. Good one.

Murky and dank, very green. Some chalky hops, citrus peel, pale grains. Pretty rough around the edges, it must be said.

Can at CBJ, thanks to me. Near clear very dark brown beer, small tan head. Airy palate, smooth, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, good mocha vibes. Smooth but earthy coffee, soft chocolate. A creamy Irish whiskey vibe. A little vanilla. Airy finish. Has a nice smoothness and lightness to this without losing richness.
