Murky, thin head. Tart, lots of pineapple and peach, the passionfruit coming in at the end. Decent.

Slightly dull, hazy, thin head. Bright aussie hops, little bit of onion. On the palate, strong alcohol character, moderate bitterness, some of that bright stone fruit and lychee hop. Touch of citrus and again the allium. The alcohol isn’t as prominent in the finish but does lend some dryness. Another solid headbanger.

Poured from the tap. Near black with small beige head. Lots of artificial banana (think those hard banana candies) with a dry bitter roasty dark chocolate finish. Doesn’t do it for me. Too artificial, Porter quality is a little rough, and the blend of the two is lacklustre. Novelty beer.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy dull gold with minimal white head. Tart pineapple, lacto, hint of peach. Nothing special.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Mild lacto tartness, light citrus, subtle hops, it’s fine…

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, hazy to cloudy, small head. Very nice aroma, zesty, with traces of pine and tropical fruit. Bold mouthfeel, with mild residual sweetness; crispy malts base; and the hopping is quite bright, it's piney, and zesty, with bold bitterness too.
There are traces of oats, otherwise this is close to a modern West Coast IIPA, and I like that; excellent.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Citrus hops, touch of resin and melon, a bit of alcohol burn. Not the best Head Banger, but still decent.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some tropical fruits, plenty of piney hops, a bit of resins, and light citrus. Flavour is very juicy, with moderately dank, quite piney, and resinous hops, with plenty of tropical stone fruit, and a lot of alcohol burn (more than usual). Vibrant, fruity, and fairly assertive on the hops, though with a bit too much alcohol burn. Very good as usual.
