After a failed Neighborhood threesome I've found one now with Pomona Island, and this crisp, hazy, citrus and pine starter, both of these aspects evident in aroma and taste. It has a fair citric bitterness.

My mother did receive her Mother's Day card from me for the Sunday just gone. A darker juice appearance, there's a bit of a smoothie thing going on in texture, although the citric sourness remains strong enough, and flavoursome, and mango is prevalent. The dense texture here slips down the palate easily, dangerously so!

I can't recall any neighbour ever calling to borrow food. Sugars are aplenty in this one as it's a dense textured, sweet stout, with its roasted notes best and stated in aroma, and develop in aftertaste. It's heavy going though, especially with its sticky-sweetness, which isn't the most palate-friendly you'll ever find. Reaching marshmallow levels of taste some will enjoy this one for sure.

Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth but slightly thin pale malts, a mild sweetness. A general tang to this brew which I am struggling with. Light cooling pine. Stone fruits, a little hop spice. A mild citrus backdrop. Light finish. A beer I should like but, just that bit tangy.

Panda from Colin. Cheers ears. Opaque chestnut. Foamy translucent white head. Aroma has resin and citrus with a caramelised sweetness that results in a jammy effect. Flavourwise it's got a bitter core with a spice. Tangy citrus sourness and that chewy caramel sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation with a light fizz. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. I like.

Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#19. Hazy yellow-gold appearance, looks a bit juicy. Hoppy first, tropical and pine second, all a bit weak tasting.
