Saberooth is a prowling IPA that hunts out your tastebuds & mauls them within an inch of their lives. This hoppy animal is relentless yet classy in the flavour stakes, big dank American hops are backed up with a strong satisfying malty backbone from Pale & Crystal malts.
The poise of this animal of an IPA is what gives its thoroughbred character.
This cat is poised & ready to pounce!

330mL bottle, pours a clear orange with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of orange fruits, resinous hops and dry caramel malts. Flavour is very similar, with fruity orangey hops, resin and juicy caramel malt. Very well-balanced, with perhaps too fruity a palate. Good stuff.

33cl bottle from Cloisters. Appearance - hazy golden amber with a decent head. Nose - papaya and cantaloupe melon. Taste - more melon and just enough fresh citrus to clean it away. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - so tasty yet so drinkable. Fantastic balance.
