Cask pour at Cask.on. Opaque black with ring of head and nice lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, vanilla. Taste is strong roasted malt, hints of coconut and vanilla. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Adjuncts could be stronger. Fine but not a standout.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 22/03/24. Murky orange with a decent lasting just off white head. Nose is bitter orange, grapefruit, pine dusting, ripe tropical fruits, dank whisper. Taste comprises bitter orange, chalky mineral bite, grapefruit, raw pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come dankened hop bitterness. Tidy enough DIPA but a little raw and carrying too much mineral presence.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 22/03/24. Rich claret with a good sized crimson cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is dusty red berries, hay bale, sugar sprinkle, raspberry jam. Taste comprises bitter sweet berries, sugars, mild lactic pinch, all very 1D. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Boring ... lacks any sourness, just an okay red berry fruity type affair.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 22/03/24. Raspberry red with a good sized light crimson cap. Nose is tangy blueberries, vanilla, lactic notes, sweet berries. Taste comprises raspberry yoghurt, blueberries, sweet tones, lactic pinch. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering edge. Another pastry sour ... it's fine ... just like many others of this ilk ... it doesn't stand out the rest.
