HB Festbier, I know it’s out of season…

Seasons? We don't need no stinking seasons!
I have one sitting in primary. Final gravity sample tasted great. First time I used the 835X yeast. I'll be breaking it out end of May for my son and future dil's wedding shower.
 
What's the new hop and why don't you like it?
New hop is EXP ID-158. Descriptors were citrus and stone fruit, plus honey and vanilla. I don’t get those, but maybe instead … butter? (I don’t think it’s diacetyl, which I’m not really sensitive to anyhow.) And maybe some green onion.

I’ve found new hops to be hit or miss. This is a miss. HBC 1019, on the other hand, was great stuff.

Citrus, stone fruit, honey and vanilla sound lovely. Butter and green onion not so much. Too bad, especially since it's looks so good.
