Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear pale gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin pale malts, tastes like a cheap lager. Watery citrus. Ripe. A little banana esters. Light dry finish. Amusingly awful.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 30/06/2025.
Almost clear golden blonde topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is mellow citric peel, straw, herb, grains.
Taste comprises lemon rind, herb, straw, twiggy, stale bread.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close.
Not great ... twiggy attempt at a pale.
