Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a clear mahogany brown colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The modest aroma is steeped in a blend of fruity esters, roasted malts, a bit of nuttiness and then chocolate to burnt malts into the end of the draw. The taste follows suit as I get murmurs of sweet dark fruity esters flowing into nutty malts, earthy malts and growing dark roasted malts. Another swig reveals a layer of chocolate malts and dark roasted coffee. Solid Brown

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice off white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, tangerine and a bit of pine flowing into a faint sense of pale maltiness. The taste delivers crisp slightly chewy deep citrus hop meaty bitterness that conjures up a blend of grapefruit, tangerine and just a few drops of lime to round things out. To midway a thin layer of pine like hop bitterness comes to the surface to help drive home the full flavorful hop bitterness. This is banging on all cylinders and ends crisp and nearly devoid of any sweetness.

Pint can pours with a clear gold body that supports a full lasting white head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting semi bright citrus as well as some spicy woody hops flowing into a bit of soft citrus juice and faint tropical notes. The taste delivers a fairly crisp mouthfeel as well as a meaty punchy hop bitterness. I get some grapefruit and tangerine slowing heading toward more orange like citrus hop flavor and a dash of soft tropical juiciness. It picks up wafer thin notes of spicy hops here and there too adding another tasty facet to the experience. Very nice and ending with little sweetness.

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a crystal clear unstout like copper gold colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up some fruity esters, a bit of cigar ash and an under current of pale malt like notes. The taste delivers smooth mild malt nuanced sweet fruity esters that are well integrated and not at all off-putting. To midway it becomes a tad mineral like as faint vague maltiness struggles to be heard. Interesting offering. Stout?

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a clear slightly dirty dull gold colored body that supports a white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up flower pedals upon the first pull and then faint mineral laced malts after that. The taste comes across a little heavier than it should for the style. I get vague incoherent sweet fruity esters providing a support for thin vague spicy hop bitterness. This seems muddled and doesn't end all that dry and crisp for the style. Interesting effort.

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a crystal clear slightly dull gold colored body that supports a fairly thin ring of white bubbles. The aroma offers up an assault of peach like notes that range from dried peach to Kool-Aid peach. Wow. The taste offers up an experience that strays a little more into the freshly cut fruit realm than the nose led onto. I do get a couple slices of peach fruit bleeding into a more extract to dried Kool-Aid mix fake fruitiness. This would make a nice 12% abv panty peeler if one was so inclined to brew such a thing.

Panda, courtesy of @SHIG, pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports an off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up pear to fig like fruity esters as well as a bit of sweet bread maltiness. The taste delivers sweet apple to pear to fig like fruity esters countered by thin murmurs of vague spicy hop bitterness that grow to a mild bitterness into the finish. Inoffensive overall and I'm kind of digging the lingering vague hop bitterness into the after taste.
