Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 16/10/24. Moderately hazed golden topped with a just off white head that dissipates quickly to thin edge work. Nose is lemon rind, funk, herb, hedgerow, light acidic nostril tickle, vanilla oak. Taste comprises tarte citric flesh, green berry must, damp cloth, oak, funk, herb, balanced acidic bite, green apple skins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering rasp. Not bad.

Really nice hints of floral funk and floral sweetness. Lovely all over with a slightly tart finish.

Incredible balance of funk and grape notes. Now if they can just package their barleywines and strong ales in reasonable sized bottles...

Not what I was expecting… Fonts Flora Lake James Rind Lager Beer 3.8% Crystal clear gold with fast-dissipating fizzy foam. My first sniff had me thinking grapefruit but then I realized it had HUGE lime aroma. Apparently, it’s made with heritage corn, watermelon (undetectable at first), fresh lime and tajin (some kind of lime/chili sauce). Medium bodied with a very dry finish. The taste is loads of lime giving it lots of acidity. After a bit you get use to the mild chili and can actually get quite a bit of watermelon. Very summery, very interesting but I cracked this open looking for a clean straightforward crushable lager. Really interesting take on a Mexican lager with deft use of watermelon.

Almost forgot about sharing this one till Shig remembered. Very late in the tasting. 375ml bottle. Cloudy, frothy, white washed pour. Sour watermelon, yellow cherry, irritating white grape acid in my nose. Apricot-y, lightly vinous, sour fruit, endless twang, hard bittersweet bite. No obvious funk. Tasty. k
