Backlog November 2009. Pale golden body under a white head that quickly fades to nothing. Unusually and strange aroma, my minds go to visiting a zoo and the smell of rotten fruits, monkey pee, hay and mud. Taste has some of the same feeling but not this strong. Not much reminds me of a beer here. Hard to finish my small sample.
gave a cheers!

Panda at home, thanks to Shig, 18/10/25.
Clear golden with a fast escaping off white head.
Nose is perfume, rose hips, strawberry syrup.
Taste comprises sweet sugary strawberries ... nothing much else.
Light bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
A bit crap.

29/9/2025. Bottle shared by SHIG, cheers! Pours clear. Big strawberry jelly aroma. Strawberry jelly taste. Very sweet. If this was a strawberry jelly I’d have liked it. Bit of whipped cream. Perhaps some custard, make it a trifle. But a beer, no. The roof of my mouth was raw from the sugars whilst drinking this. Probably the least enjoyable of all the “beers” of this type I’ve had.

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a crystal clear dull light gold colored body that supports a thin ring of white bubbles. The aroma offers up flowery thin clouds of strawberry that get's right into fresh cut ripe strawberries with a deeper pull. Yeah, close your eyes and you can easily imagine the glass is full of strawberries. Nice. The taste, however, has a blend of both oddly strawberry powder and nicely fresh ripe strawberries. I dig this but I'd prefer more actual beer flavour as that's not really coming across. A hot summer Saudi day and this will do just fine

Bottle: Bottle was green, but from a grocery store so seemed to be stored inside. Poured a golden with a carbonated white fast dissipating head. Aroma is strawberry, little artificial, malt. Taste is strawberry forward, actually tasted fresh cut, not to sweet, light malt backbone.

Bottle: Drank from the green bottle with a twisted top. Aroma is big malts, light fruit, raspberry. Taste is malty forward, light raspberry fruit. This one is definitely trying to be more beer than fruits.
Fairly sweet
It’s like a sweet ginger beer.
