Poured from the tap. Cloudy golden blonde with small white head. Tropical, citrus, touch of tang, and a bit of resin. Decent.

Pinkish-purple colour and head. Hazy. Seems like mostly cherry on the nose, maybe some diacetyl. It's tart, with sour cherry notes, some lime, and maybe a bit of spice as well. Yeah, okay, pretty straightforward, this one.

Opaque and with a frothy head. Big hop aroma, dank for sure, green, some tropicals. On the palate, the oats show. It's still fucking green, though. Wow. Okay. I mean, this was released several months ago and it's still this harsh? Bitter, grapefruit, light sweet malts. It's assertive, I'll say that.

Pale purple and slightly hazy. Pink-purple head. Aroma of blackberry and vanilla. On the palate it's tart like very underripe berries, light vanilla and minimal crumble. It's simple, like most of them, and all right.

Tasting at Salesforce, can
Cloudy red-purple colour. Mild aroma of berries and banana. Oily, off-dry, astringent, moderately sour, poor fruit character, and chalky in the finish.
Two problems here, it could be drinkable if sweeter, and it's a Hazy sour, so it's dirty. Not good.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy purple-ish pink with minimal white head. Blueberry, banana, lactose, mild pancake. Just a ridiculous idea.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out tart blueberry, light banana, and lacto. Flavour brings out plenty of banana pancakes, tart blueberry, and lacto. Not one of my favourite imperial love buzzes. Too yogurty for my tastes. Meh.

Murky copper with a frothy white head. Soured guava. Nice guava, raspberry and a light finish. Touch of tartness, but really well balanced and fairly well presented.

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.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold-orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet, spicy aroma of grainy pale malt, cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice, orange and floral hops. Sweet, spicy flavour of grainy pale malt, brown sugar, lactose, pear, cinnamon, orange, ginger, clove and floral hops in a dry, tart finish. Medium body with a sticky, syrupy texture and average carbonation. A great dessert sour that is easy to drink.
