Compared to Drekker Neon Phenom 10/2022: Pours a lighter color. Milder aromas. More lemon citrus, pineapple rind, pine, and astringency. Less sweet passionfruit citrus and green guava and melon. Less tropical. Dryer and cleaner.
12/2022: Pours a lighter color similar aromas. More candied lemon and pineapple. Less tart grapefruit, mango, grapes.

Overall: Lots of lemon, citrus and pineapple rind with some pine and astringency. A citrus rind astringency lingers. A dry finish with only hints of cantaloupe melon flesh. Overall dry, clean, and somewhat astringent. I appreciate that aspect, but the lemon and rind hop flavors just weren't quite my forte. (Rating: 3.94)
