The Zythophile SMaSH series is designed to uncover the true essence of each hop. Too many times are different hops combined only to create the same flavor profile. Drinking a Zythophile IPA will improve one’s hop knowledge, ability to impress at parties, attractiveness to their significant other, and overall happiness. However, excessive Zythophile consumption may create the opposite effect.
Tasting notes: Hazy orange with a solid white head. Light bready malt with pine, grapefruit, and tangerine.
Malt: Pilsner Hops: Centennial

Can from Total Wine Houston enjoyed at the Comfort inn near the Galleria.
Lightly hazy deep gold color with a huge frothy white head that persists. Earthy spicy pine with hints of citrus and tropical against a bready toasty malt.

Partially cloudy golden yellow body; sparse, slow-rising carbonation; huge head, billowy, white, sticky. Nice aroma of citrus with a touch of pine. Excellent flavors for a SMaSH; light malt base; bread crust; moderate to bold hop bitterness; citrus flavors; grapefruit; mild esters. Medium body; lovely prickliness on the palate; slightly dry, slightly juicy.
As noted by another reviewer, there was no mention of the particular hop used on the can, but the canning data, ABV, and hop flavor and aroma profile all point to the Centennial hop version released July 25th per the brewery's web site. For a SMaSH, this is one tasty and balanced beer. Nicely done.
Pouring temperature: 42 °F; canning info: CAN DATE 07/22/22

Picked up a six pack of cans with a canning date of 08/03/22.
Note: No indication on the can of which hop is being showcased here, just that it is part of the lone hop ale limited release series. Contacted the brewery on Twitter and they noted that the hop featured here is Centennial, this detail was missing on some cans due to a printing error.
Pours an almost clear (with some hop particulates) golden color with a hint of copper. On the pour, there is about half an inch of frothy head, but within five minutes or so it dissipates to a thin layer with some lacing on the glass that slides down as it sits. Pretty standard IPA look with average to below average head retention and lacing. Carbonation also looks a tick below average, hopefully hinting at some zestiness.
Very fresh on the nose with lots of hops. Mostly pine and citrus with a hint of candy and butter coming in from the malts. Very clean, slightly soapy, and a hint of balance. Inviting!
Taste follows the nose well. Decidedly hoppy, especially towards the swallow and into the finish, but there is an excellent subtle balance here with the malts as well. Starts with a crackery, buttery and slightly toasted maltiness which quickly gives way to a warming hop presence as it sits on the tongue. Lots of pine with a bit of grapefruit rind and lemon pith which lingers long after the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with solid chewiness and light, zesty carbonation. Surprisingly not a ton of oiliness from the hops, and it finishes a tad dry. This came off a little bit thin to me initially, but overall it's an enjoyable mouthfeel. Very drinkable for 6.7% ABV.
Overall, this is a very well crafted IPA and a great showcase of the versatile Centennial hop. I would say the flavor profile is a bit simplistic and pine-forward for my tastes, but I did enjoy it. Compared to other SMaSH offerings, I would still gravitate towards the Yellow Rose which has a bit more flavor complexity. Still, it's easy to see why Centennial is a fixture in many legendary IPAs. Cheers!
