355ml can bought in Panama and drank at Sarah-Janes on 23rd April 2025. Poured into a Leffe chalice, dark brown body, slight ruby hue; tanned topping. I bit 'thin' body wise but the aroma and taste were both fine, chocolate and coffee notes loud and clear. It's fine and I really liked the can art work.

335ml can from a random store in Panama, drank at my daughters in California on 4th April 2025. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass. Slight haze to the amber body, offwhite head that turned into a thin wisp and collar very quickly. Light malty nose and initial taste, some hop action below the surface, nice enough blend and another Panama rating for me.

33cl can into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass on 31st March 2025 at my daughters in California, I bought it in Panamaa couple of weeks ago. Hazed golden orange body, white crown. Spiced/herbal nose and initial taste, coriander came to mind. Citrus fruits linger in the mouth, as does the herbal notes and malty backbone. Interesting beer all round, certainly not something I expected to find while in Panama (for a day).

355ml can from a booze store in Fuerta Amador, Panama and drank at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 30th March 2025. Slight haze to the amber body, white crown, looked good in an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass. Bitter, piney hopped beer from start to finish. Liked it's 'no nonsense' and honest IPA hoppiness and the malty colour (and mild malty undertone).
