Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has a sour herbal, citrus, vinous streak over soft fruit. Flavourwise there's initial sweet fruit followed by sour bitter herbs and vinous notes. The sweetness is in for the duration though. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.

Cask at the brewery tap. Opaque cola brown. Very thin beige head. Aroma has coffee and sweet edged berries. Flavourwise it's initially quite sweet, if sour edged. Berries (both sweet and sour) with caramel. Develops mocha and a bitterness - the latter moreso into the finish. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Decent Stout.

Tap at Hogs Back Tap. Hazy dsrk orange. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has light citrus and a pithyness over cardboard hops. Flavourwise there's a tangy and juicy citrus core with a more bitter edge. Grapefruit. Slightly odd chewy malts. Cardboard and cheap bread. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. The more I drink this, the more I dislike this. Just something off about it.... the flavours just don't tally. One of those not entirely successful attempts by an oldschool brewery to brew a modern beer. Described as an XPA but a Hazy Pale all the way.
