Can at home. Dark red color, (Dutch) "dof rood kleurig", medium sized beige head. Aroma and flavor both have a pleasant malt base and a nice hoppiness initially, however after a while and after pouring in the 2nd half of the can, both aroma and flavor get a little less good. Hard to describe this one. Still pretty nice though.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 03/04/21. Clear golden orange with a good sized off white cap that settles to a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, floral notes, toasted malts, caramel, grapefruit zest, light pine needle. Taste comprises orange peel, pine needle, grass, ripe melon, grapefruit, mixed tropical fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with juicy hop bitterness and a balanced rising boost. Good fun old skool leaning DIPA ... memories of mid 2000's brew pub ticking in the United Rakes !
