HBC-520, HBC-586, HBC-630 & HBC-692- hopped India Pale Ale.
We've never done an all-experimental hopped beer before, let alone used four of them at once. Here goes nothing! Early reports from the brew crew entail huge mandarin, maraschino cherry and light piney, unique vibes.

Hazy dark orange, minimal head and lacing. Smells of mandarin orange and strawberry. Taste is tart, citrusy, and piney. Light to medium body, slightly dry finish, minimal alcohol presence. Wish I bought more than one.

Canned 6/2/21; drank 6/7/21 @ the Yarchives.
Dull orange/yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice off-white head; frothy, tree-rung lace.
Watermelon, ganja & mild grapefruit notes in the nose.
Medium thin mouthfeel.
Watermelon & grapefruit rind flavors up front; mild ganja & faint mint notes on the finish.
This smelled a bit better than it tasted, and could have used a bit more heft in the mouthfeel, but it was above average. I'd have another!

Not bad for a bunch of experimental hops thrown together. Lots of orange peel and tropical flavors. It's got a nice dry finish. Some grapefruit to the taste that had some tartness to it.

Pours a stormy orange with a nice pillow-y head that laces well. Totally opaque, but does not look like juice like some NEIPAs do. The nose is mango and maybe strawberries or melon. The taste is really great, the ripe mango comes through, and as the beer warms a sabro-like coconut flavor rises as well. A nice hop bitterness that starts aggressive then stays as an undercurrent to the mango-coconut. Great fluffy mouthfeel. In all a really good beer. Not too sweet, just enough bitterness to carry the fruit.
