Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 29/11/2025.
Golden blonde topped with a white crown.
Nose is bitter orange, citric tinged straw, papaya, mandarin, grass.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, pine needle, mandarin, ripe melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with modest juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Tidy DIPA with a good WC vibe ... although another US brewed beer with NZ hops where they seem scared to use them (or pay for them)?

473ml can. Clear golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of orange and grapefruit, pine, a little vinous. Taste is very citrusy, plenty of orange, grapefruit, a dash of lime, citrus peel, white wine and dank herbs, decent piney resinous bitterness lingering in the finish. Medium bodied. No sign of the 9% ABV at all really. Great collab.

Bouteille 50cl partagée avec Isaac, Sergi, Costa, Bernat, Tavo, Iñaki, Nacho, Trota - El Birrot & Basque region friends mega tasting. Merci!
Noire huile de moteur - gros filament huileux doré aux rebords du evrre, col léger moka - café au lait.
Assez plate en bouche - onctueuse avec excellent caractère de barrique - whisky résiduel, booze, barrique, touche de vanille - fruits noirs - black forest, cerises noires. Petite note umami versant sur un retrait un peu soja mais avec une grosse dose d'alcool et de sucre résiduel. Le tout est franchement bien ficelé.
