Panda from Colin. Why thank you. Hazy yellow. Thick foamy white head. Aroma had citrus tartness ans herbal. Resinous streak. Flavourwise it's bitter. Rather tart citrus with herbs and a vinous element. Underlying porridge. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation.Long. Long dry astringent finish. TartNEIPA.

Panda from Colin. Yo. Clear amber. Frothy translucent white head. Aroma combines a bitter resinous with stone fruit juice. Bitter and resinous with the edge taken off by sugary fruit. The sweetness closes preceedings. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice if rather polite Westie.

There's some stagnant water in my nearest woods where you can watch frogs get nimble together in mating season! There's no stagnant water here but a carbonated taste, sending its tropical notes into a disappointing afterthought. Hazy watery juice like appearance. Decent enough though.

The artwork for this hazy paler golden brew looks a bit like the old TV-AM logo. Quite a rich tasting sugary-tropical fruit effort, with sugars evident in aroma too, at 'icing' levels to be more exact.

No relation to Papa Smurf. Orange juicy looking sour, with a mid sourness, a fruity crisp tasting one with a bit of an exotic and tropical mix.

Running on the spot wasn't one of the weird Olympics sports utilised in its early editions. A juice-like appearance, a somewhat watery one in design and appearance, but some tropical notes are available.
