Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a nice level of sweetness. Riwaka and its exotic hard-to-pin down fruits dominate the hop profile. A touch of Alora bergamot on the back end. Lots of cooling pine. Nice pale ale very Riwaka.

Probably the last of the seasonal loopy-juice efforts still hanging around from the festive period, but a happy find as I've had several of this series before. This version is black with minimal head, sticky-sweet in texture, dark malty in taste with hints of liquorice enhancing the experience. You can feel the booze effect in the body, but it's relatively well hidden in the supping process for its strength.

Keg @ Pien, Helsinki.
POured hazy and orange in color.
Lychee, perfumy like, quite intense hop aroma. Flavor more candy pop like, sweetish. Light bodied, slightly unbalanced. Still loving the aroma.
