473 ml can. Pours an ugly opaque whitish gold with light head. Aromas of melons, dank hops, and a ton of orange pith and wheaty malts. Flavors of acrid dank hops and grapefruit rind. Very bitter hard to take finish. Yuck.

473mL can. Pours clear pale gold with moderate white head. Aroma is very bright, lots of melon, orange, and white wine grape. Flavour is packed full of white wine character from the Nelson hops; melon, orange peel, solid bitterness. Very full-bodied. Damn, what a fantastic IPA.

473 ml can. Pours a dull amber with moderate head and quite a bit of fine floaters. Aromas of mashed tropical fruit leaning towards earthy melons, candied citrus, and bready malts. Flavors follow same emphasis on earthy melons and almost doughy malts. Plus some alcohol spiciness. Good.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish gold with white head. Mild Nelson Sauvin character, feint booziness, comes together nicely, not as boozy as other iterations of Head Banger, could have a touch more hops, but overall, quite nice.
