Cloudy to murky blond colour, it may be the light, bit it's a bit dull. Mild aroma of fruit salad. Seemingly, more body and sweetness than previous incarnations, some fruit accent, but in general not as juicy or fresh (feeling), the bitterness is rather bold. Some booze, but it's not excessive. I still like it.

473mL can, pours an opaque, cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a lot of tropical and stone fruit pith, resinous hops, some pine, and a bit of yeast. Flavour is very juicy, with tropical and stone fruit, some dankness, chewy resinous hops, a bit of yeast, and moderate lingering bitterness. Pithy mouthfeel, with lots of juiciness. The pithiness and bitterness make it a little harsher than some other Head Banger variant. This is definitely not up to the level of some of the best of this series—not sure if that's due to the hops or a different recipe/execution. Still, very good.
