Panda at home, thanks to Mark the Bearded Avenger, 28/04/2026.
Moderately hazed golden orange with a thin white cap that soon vanishes.
Nose is orange peel, grass, airy malts.
Taste comprises citric tinged straw, orange peel, astringent bitterness.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
So so twiggy affair.

Cask at EBF Easter 26. Hazy-opaque gold. Thin bubbly translucent white head primarily clings to the rim. Aroma has stone fruit with a slight sourness to the light sweet majority. Underlying sweet malts. It's pretty bitter. Gooseberry and resin. Then develops some peripheral sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice enough.

Bottle bought at the Northumberland Arms, Brentford, a while back. Aroma is rich, dark fruit, caramel. A sour coffee and fruit vinegar streak then comes through. Rich mocha provides a swetter finish. Darkest opaque brown. Thick microbubbled foamy beige head. Initial sour coffee and berries. Coffee really sweeps through. Underlying chewy caramel and fruit. Boozy. Light. Thin but sticky. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Punchy brown.

Bottle bought at Northumberland Arms, Brentford. Aroma is grainy, resinous. And also chocolate. Understandably there's a spicy edge. Cloudy dark amber. Thick foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Dry spice. Underlying fruit. Marmalade. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Makes me thinking of a spiced hoppy ESB.

Gravicask, third, shared with Finn at Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival. Coal black body, naked surface, dotted spots on the glass. Modest malt-fruity aromas. Mixed taste of cocoa and prunes, hints of sulfur to a malt-fruity ending. So and so. (24.10.2019).

Gravicask på Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival 2019. Delt med Rune. Gusjemørkebrun/svart. 0 skum. Aroma av brent plast. Smaken litt sjokolade - men plastpreget henger i. Ikke helt bra.
