Pretty sure this is the one had at Sierra Nevada's Single, Fresh, Wet & Wild Festival.

529 is a Nugget family hop, parentage from CTZ, grandparentage Nugget. Pours golden, 1/3" white head. Aroma was a bit of that lemon and grapefruit rind, lesser amount of guava.

Taste brings both the bitterness and flavor, difficult to tell, but I would speculate this is a dual use hop. Can absolutely see how this owes some qualities to both Nugget (bitter) and CTZ (light weed/guava). Light earthy sweetness to the body of the beer. Mouth feel does seem to have all of the 7.2% abv to it, the Nugget bitterness tends to bind seemingly with the alcohol to pronounce each, but not to problematic heights or anything like that. No aspect of this beer goes above moderate in terms of intensity, whether it be things you like or dislike about a beer. If you were looking for pungency or strength in terms of alcohol, bitterness, citrus, tropical or dryness of the body, they're all there, in moderate amounts.
