Can poured into a shaker glass. Dark gold with a soapy off white head. Aroma is juicy. Pineapple, grapefruit, mango, orange. Initial taste is on the bitter side with citrus rind and pine dominating. Fades to more of the same. Body is a solid medium with light carbonation. Enjoyable!

Can for two and a half bucks at vintage estate. Pour is slight haze on a lemonade color along with a big foamy head that fades down to nuttin in about 5 mins. Mild candy hop and pine nose. Surprised the taste is a little less bitter than expected but it does yield a mild warming sensation in the inner man puku. Yea, finding the medium bitterness in thus much easier to take than most real IPA. In the middle, maybe the bitter bite is building but I'm not sure. Got some smoother creamy palate in this. Getting some fruit in there I think. In the end, I've tasted over six different head hunters, and for me, a macro lager lover who can't stand IPAs; this stuff is almost acceptable. Before this my highest head hunter IPA was a 3.5! All the other head hunters were brutal bastards in rototilling bitterness.

Canned 4/28/26, drunk 6/16/26.
Lighter and easier going than the bigger beers in the mixed pack, unsurprisingly. Yellow fruits with a touch of pine and grapefruit. The same ample, white bread-like maltiness to easily balance.
Light but well-malted. White bread with a bit of toast and sourdough. Ample bitterness but malt rejoins the finish and prevails. Wouldn't hate a bit more hop flavor; it's just vague yellow fruits and mild, pine-and-grapefruit.

Another bright and inviting aroma with a good berry accent from the Krush and more acidity than usual for the style thanks to the Simcoe. Lots of tangerine pulp and skin with a light floral character and cracker-like malts to gently balance. No resin or weird yeast character.
Soft and juicy but with a good, lightly bitter citrus rind undercurrent. Lots of malt, though it's well enough attemuated. Very fruity yeast and while there's some citrus character, I'd like to see a bit more expressiveness or intensity of hop. Slight Krush berry character lingering vaguely.

Wow the new age hops really lend a whole different character to this. Not a traditional WC in the least, even with the obvious bit of medium malt the color shows. There's still pine but there's a juicier pineapple and bright berry, neither of which is twangy or too acidic. And whatever specialty malt is in here, it doesn't lend any real toast or caramel.
Bright and with light pine resin in the background but the hops, as in the nose, softening and juicifying things to some degree. There's just an ever so slight pinch of caramel, with ample malts and good depth, dryness and overall balance. Lingering guava, melon, berry, papaya....they're doing good work at Fat Head's.

Light, bright, with leafy herbage, light floral and minimal malt interference. For a 65 ibu WC, this smells very approachable and reasonably balanced.
Orange, lemon, woody notes and black tea with a chewy, supple, white bread-and-honey-like malt. Grapefruit and pine appear on the finish, but it doesn't get too resinous. This is shockingly drinkable but still assertive. Maybe a tad bit much soap and floral character, but otherwise pretty impressive for a large-production IPA.

Hazy pale yellow with large white head. Lime juice, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Lightly sweet lime juice, biscuit malt, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body.
