Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, sweet enough. Cooling pine into sweetish hop fruits, bright and well integrated, a little Motueka lime bubbling to the top. Fair dose of hop spice builds through the finish and lingers on. A bit different and pretty quaffable.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a small and transient white head. Aroma is citrus/floral with other things like melon and lychee. Juicy, but only lightly sugary. Bitter enough for balance. Flavor arguably matches the aroma - this is very complex for me and my parsing should not be relied upon. Great flavor.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a decent white head. Aroma of crackery/bready malt with some grass/spice. Arguably med body. Flavor matches aroma. Fairly towards dry and not quite so bitter as I'd like. Nice flavor tho.

Can (08-1X, smudged second day digit and year, but bought from "bargain bin" so likely 2024) from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Dark, cola brown with ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is light-to-moderate coconut, toffee. Taste is strong toasted coconut, toffee, milder chocolate. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Taste is very nice and much stronger than aroma, which is pretty weak. Decent overall.
