Can (10/10/22) pour from Andover Classic Wines. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white head with fair retention and ring of lacing. Aroma is mostly strong citrus; also dank and pineapple rind. Taste is strong mix of citrus and pineapple with danky backdrop and late grain. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, pretty good but the expectation for this hop mix was high but the whole was less than the sum of its parts.

Can from Tavour. Hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus, sweet sugar. Flavor is also citrus laden with large amount of sugar.

Canned 10/10/22, drunk 11/28/22. Heavily hazy, bright honey-maize-golden with a large, off-white head showing strong retention. Juicy Citra provides strong grapefruit aromatics up front with low Sabro, thankfully. No pukey fruitiness, canned pineapple or heavy coconut. Just a touch of pineapple-coconut on the end. Can't find much in the way of Nelson, maybe a bit of white grape somewhere in there. Would never guess it was here blind. Not familiar enough with Phantasm yet, but I don't really get much sauv blanc grape must. Seems pretty Citra-Sabro dominated. That said, it's clean, juicy, not resinous or boozey with good cracker and biscuit-like malts to support. Hella juicy in the flavor with moderate coconut-like Sabro throughout. I suppose I get sauv blanc juice in here, and of course there's plentiful citrus throughout. Lingering light pine, assertive bitterness and soft, biscuity malts. Good attenuation, no booze, clean. I bet this would be even better without the Sabro, but I guess that's just my personal preference of hops. After two reasonably crappy HBftW beers, I've now had two great ones back-to-back. Gotta stay away from the lactose beers, but I already knew that.
