Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Nice malt base, light and creamy sweet without ever getting sticky. HBC 692 ponies up with bags of pine, seems to be a consistent character of this hop, big cooling crispy pine. This presentation has a fair side serving of citrus. Touches of yellow grapefruit, pink grapefruit and lemon. Juicy but bitterish mandarin and something floral peach like. Light smooth finish leaves a pithy bitterish linger. For me, Howling Hops have got more out of this new hop than any one else has so far. Very nice.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer HD. Pours just slightly hazed gold with a frothy, white head. Fun stuff, with moderate sweetness, nice floral hops, lime zest, grapefruit, lemon peel, hints of dry pale bread, low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more floral and zesty citrus hop character. Really enjoyed it.
