Can from tfontana, thanks again. Hazy lemony yellow with a huge frothy white head that slowly recedes. Citrus lemon and tropical fruits with some bready sweetness and a bit of sweet sugar.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks big pimp! Aroma is pineapple and lemon. Flavor shows a good amount of fruit with table sugar. Strong floral hint in the finish that collides with the lemon. Sorry Counterweight, this is not a hop combo I can get excited for.

Can (10/29/20) pour from the brewery. Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with no sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong citrus candy (lemon/orange mix), pink grapefruit. Both are a little too strong and have a synthetic sense to them, like a Starburst candy or an incense stick (reminds me of those shops with metallic dragon and wizard figurines displayed on black velvet, tapestries, black posters, marijuana paraphernalia in a glass case in the back, '70's music playing, etc.--if you were there, you know exactly what I'm talking about). Taste is REALLY strong pink grapefruit, bubble gum, synthetic lemony-orange citrus, along with metallic/pineapple/coconut component. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, soft-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, very strong aroma and flavor with complexity but a synthetic quality to the pink grapefruit/citrus/bubble gum triumvirate and the pineapple/coconut/metallic triumvirate says HBC 692 has promise but needs to be reined in.
