What about the beer?
Colour is clear straw yellow with a large white head. Aroma has fresh grapefruit, orange and pineapple. Taste begins with sweet fruity and slightly bitter bite. Fresh grapefruit bitterness with growing sweet orange flavour takes over. Near the finish gently piny dryness is added. Aftertaste has stronger piny dryness and bitter grapefruit.

Excellent. Delicious. Super fruity India Pale Ale. Bitter grapefruit and sweet orange with nicely growing pine. No wonder that this brew is considered as one of the West Coast IPA landmarks.

So I chose this one instead of all the Californian style songs available. At least the band is from the same state with the brewery, but why pick a song titled Panama? Beats me but just did. But I wasn't going to San Francisco or Hotel California or even dreaming about the state.

From the 1984 album 1984, the song was written by Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth.
