Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 10/01/21. Hazed golden orange with a good sized head formed of tightly knit white bubbles. Nose is orange peel, melon, citric sherbets, grass, papaya. Taste comprises melon, mango, sweet malts, tangerine, light grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with moderate juicy hop bitterness. Ok old skool leaning IPA if a touch on the sweet side and lacking hop dynamic.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 10/01/21. Clear golden amber with a decent lasting white head. Nose is caramel malts, orange peel, sweet melon, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises orange peel, old skool vibes, caramel, melon, light grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate and balanced hop bitterness. Passable IPA ... more akin to a Mom and Pop brewpub formulaic affair - circa 2005, than something that has a place in 2021!
