Opaque, not much head, sort of a pale peachy colour. Light body, sweaty yeast note from the base and some moderate grapefruit overtop. Not the most compelling grapefruit radler I have ever had.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy orangey yellow with small white head. A juicy grapefruit radler. Nothing unexpected, decent.

Cloudy blond colour. The aroma is impressive, it's piney and tropical at the same time, bit of weed. Lean body, as usual for the series, very light residual sweetness; the oats don't really add any creamy or chalky character; lots of elements from the different hops, including bitter zest and pine; bold bitterness too. Some alcohol evidence too.
Excellent.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Quite piney and floral hops, hint of tropical notes, mild alcohol mouthfeel like most Head Bangers. Pretty decent.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy bright red, Five Alive style, with a small off-white head. Aroma smells like a Five Alive: lots of citrus plus soda-like sweetness. Flavour is very artificial, with lots of lactose, mixed citrus fruits, berry juiciness, and bitter citrus zest. Finishes bitter, sweet and artificial overall. Not a fan of this at all.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of bitter citrus zest, plenty of pine and some dry earthiness. Flavour is bright and piney, with lots of west coast style piney hops, a bit of soapy floral character, and crisp biscuity malt. Very assertively hopped, with a nice bitter finish. Other than that pronounced floral—almost perfumey—character, this is really good.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of yogurty, light pineapple and zesty peachy skins. Flavour is juicy and yogurty, with plenty of peaches, lacto, and a hint of juicy pineapple. Simple but the fruit combo works to drown out the yogurt. Decent.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy bright peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle grapefruit and lemonade. Flavour is medium sweet and pleasantly juicy, while still having some nice zesty grapefruit bitterness. Pleasant for what it is.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with large fizzy head that settles quickly. Aromas of cola, burnt chocolate, and roasted malts. Flavors of sweet nutty chocolate and roasted malts. Not really getting maple syrup though it is sweet. Simple, sugary and thin.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy pale blonde with a small, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that fully dissipates. Mild fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, kiwi, lime and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, lime, lactose, kiwi, yogurt and floral hops in a crisp, dry, tart, acidic finish. Light body with a creamy, smooth texture and lively carbonation. Delicious, fun stuff.
