375ml bottle. Bottled January 2022. Mostly clear pour with a subtle milky haze/tint to it. Aroma of herbal/floral hop notes, slightly perfumed, woody/earthy hints. Taste is herbal, floral hoppy, mild citrus, a slightly earthy/woody note, very dry. Nice one.

Clear. Alcohol noticeable on the aroma, less so in the taste. Dryish, with some nut, vanilla, cream and chalk followed by a umami soy sauce taste. Intriguing and enjoyable whilst drinking but left an odd and slightly unpleasant aftertaste.

26/4/2021. Can sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours lively very pale yellow gold with a short lasting frothy white head. Aroma of lemon yuzu, cucumber, gherkin. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, sparkling carbonation. Certainly not a sake as I know it, but there was something quite appealing about this.

13/4/2021. Can sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours fizzy, with a large short lasting white head, settling a slightly hazy pale gold. Aroma of musty apple, rice water, peppery spice, green \"wasabi\" paste. Moderate sweetness, bitterness builds. Watery texture, carbonation starts high but drops. Not bad, but not something I'd look to fins again.

250ml can. Clear, very pale yellow colour, short-lived thin white foam head and aroma of cucumber, dill pickle, yuzu citrus hint. Taste is sweetish, rice hints, with cucumber, vegetal, plus some citric yuzu notes. Watery, light bodied, light carbonation, dry cucumber & yuzu finish. Strange combination, but quite liked the cucumber flavours!

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 26/03/21.
Very lightly hazed pale golden yellow with a white cap that dissipates edgeward.
Nose is grains, herb, damp grass, light white peppery spice, apple skins.
Taste comprises sweet apple pulp ... very different from what I was expecting with the aroma, sugars, grains, light spice, real apple kiss.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close.
Pleasant enough sipper with a good apple profile.

6/10/2020. Sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost clear with a very pale golden tint and a quickly dissipating bubbly head. Aroma of the day before’s rice, fragrant flowers, plasticky leather and a little singed hair. Medium milky sweetness and slight bitter edge. Moderate body, creamy texture, no carbonation. Increasing bitter finish. Not bad but not my favourite sake.
