Panda, courtesy of SaltyGrog, pours with a clear gold colored body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up cantaloupe, a bit of citrus and then flowery floral like hops. The taste delivers sweet to tangy mango to cantaloupe to tangelo like fruity hoppiness with only modest hop bitterness. It gets floral hop to midway. Tasty offering although the floral notes aren't really working for me.

Never had an esb over 5%. At the source. Wife is ready to go.
Purty dark amber, iced tea pour with a super sturdy dense foam head.
Upfront tea tannins, sharp malt, some gentler brown, amazing froth, sweet pine but finish has some American grapefruit pith.
It edges towards sweet with a slight corn essence. Bite-y earthiness builds & makes you want a taco really bad.
Love this.

Wife needs a Diet Coke now. Only have regular Coke, but it hits. Banked time for more beer...
Honey gold pour. Sticky head. Never tried the base beer.
Cereal sweetness with maple & a slight caramelized apricot nose. Very curious.
Thin upfront, slight herbal hoppiness, dry cereal, weak carb, maple-y trail with a little bit of curious wood middle to tail.
On the drier side, decent carb, easy abv, very well made.
Great.

8oz at the source. Wife is still tolerating it all.
Pale gold, whitewashed lace.
Nutty & spring floral nose.
Moldy & slightly sour, earthy, rotting flowers, peanut oxidation, saison-like earth, delicate finish. Lower carb.
Just okay, or maybe not.

Camping out a bit while I can. Wife tolerating me with a book.
Tall & wide stange glass at the source. Perfectly golden, not much head.
Floral, creamy, honey, slight sharpness on the nose.
Crispy, semi-sweet cereal, delicate floral, some hinting citrus acid, very slight butter on the tail.
I want a touch more bite but this is an excellent helles.

On tap at the source after UN negotiations at Oscar Blues with the in-laws.
Medium gold, slighty dull, whitewashed head.
Smells like a brand new cigar box.
Dry, bittersweet, nice cereal, flagrant & floral Spanish cedar fully integrated. I like it then I don't. I'd say it's too much. Base beer is still peppery & earthy hoppy, cereal sweet then drying out. Great combo, just need to dial back the cedar.
Crispy AF.
Interesting. Prefer OG.

Pale gold stange at the source with my tolerable wife.
Super crispy, aromatic, peachy-papaya, lovely.
"That doesn't matter to me, I want to taste it - wife".
Thin, bitter Bellini, sparking wine, kinda bold floral peach/citrus hops, really dry, effervescent finish.
Really great.
