Poured from 473mL can. Hazy blonde gold with small white head. Citrus, grapefruit hops, oily, alcohol is unbalanced on this Head Banger... my least favourite version that I've tried so far.

Hazy, some alcohol, fruity, peachy, touch of citrus. A bit harsh with the alcohol but still good. Decent malt base.

Hazy blond colour, compact head, nice lace. The aroma is hoppy, moderately dank, some citrus peel too. Lean mouthfeel, it seems more oily and less crispy that desired; balanced bitterness, the hops have some piney quality, light dank feeling, some citrus oil, but overall it's not the fresh juicy bomb of previous iterations.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of citrus hops, pithy stone fruits, and citrus peel. Flavour is full of citrus hops, pulpy citrus, and bitter grapefruit rind. Lots of grapefruit/citrus pith, with a nice bitter finish. Above average bitterness for this series. Maybe a little astringent and certainly not as juicy as some other versions, but it's very tasty.
