Hazy, dullish sort of colour. Sour lactic base, tart pi�a and maybe a touch of coconut.

Dirty amber, thin head. Some raspberry on the nose but also butter. That shit'�s on the palate too. Fuck right off, please.

Hazy and a bit dull. Vague hop aroma. Pithy bitterness, big malts, lots of alcohol, hops aren'�t super bright here.

Dark gold, large rocky white head. Light tropical nose with malt notes. Similar palate, light malt backbone. Medium bitterness in finish. Nice !

Blond colour, slight haze, medium head. Aroma of oranges, and mild sweat. Lean body, very little residual sweetness; the hops are a bit grassy, bitter orange, strong bitterness.
Not bad.

Poured from 473mL can (unlabelled sample can pre-release). Hazy gold with small white head. Floral and leafy hops, fairly decent, but not a standout. Prefer other Head Bangers.

16oz on Alex's porch shared with Ryan. Appearance: hazy straw with a white head. Aroma: herbal notes, some sweetness, a bit of grass. Taste: along the same lines, very prominent hops character with a smooth grassy notes. Overall: very different to the regular IPAs and pretty decent.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some allium, and light piney. Flavour is dry but assertively hopped, with lots of piney hops, allium, earthiness, and dry bready malt. Good balance, with a drier malty finish and lingering bitterness. The hop expression isn't that fantastic -- there's some harsh edges and a bit of hopburn. Still, very good.

473ml can. (6.5% ABV) Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with plenty of floaties and a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of caramel malt, orange, peach and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, tangerine, peach, mango and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty and well balanced, but missing something.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy blonde yellow with dissipating white head. Bit of a wheaty tartness with banana and mild passionfruit. On par with the mediocrity of the Love Buzz series.
