This is our 19th version dry hopped with stacks of Motueka, Enigma, and El Dorado T45 hops to produce flavours of lime and dank raspberry with notes of tropical fruit.
Deceptively strong with a medium body and smooth finish. True story.

Opaque, lively pale amber sort of colour. Thin head. Bright spicy hop, yuzu, notes of cilantro, too. Citrusy bitter finish with a hit of alcohol in the finish, as is the Headbanger way. This is certainly one of my favourite Headbangers.

Poured from 473mL can. Opaque gold with small white head. Dank and sweaty with melon hops and mild citrus. Less boozy than other renditions of head banger. Quite enjoyable.

473mL can, pours an opaque golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out melon, citrus hops, light dankness, and some tropical fruitiness. Flavour is fruity and dank, with lots of dank hops, tropical fruits, citrus, melon, and a touch of booze. Dank, fruity and lacking any chalk. Excellent.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy to murky blond colour, just a bit darker than usual. Some aroma of ripe fruits, candied citrus, and dank hops, ballsweat. Full bodied, but not too sweet; hot alcohol but not boozy; the malt base has mild biscuity traits, which is still better than some creamy oats nonsense, and the hopping is bold too, with resins, citrus oils, and enough bitterness.
Slightly rough, but with plenty of enjoyable traits.
