Our first outing with Sabro in a pale ale balanced with the wonderful Simcoe. Think pineapple, mango and grapefruit dressed with shavings of coconut.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a mild haze on this gold beer, small white head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light malts, fairly sweet. Soft pine into some fairly obvious Sabro but, not as punchy as you might hope for. A little pineapple cubes. Light semi dry finish. Pleasant enough.

Very nice. For me, a great hop combo but I get why people don't like the coconut edge you can get from Sabro.

Cask @ Beatnikz Republic Bar, Manchester. Mildly hazy golden brew. It has a citrus based hoppy tropical fruitiness.

Can recieved with Euro Swap 2 2020, many thanks to Minutemat! The beer has an unclear gold color with a foamy white head. The aroma is hoppy and tropical fruits. The taste is hoppy, tropical fruit, mango and grapefruit with hints of coconut.

440ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of coconut shavings and citrus fruits. Taste is dominated by Sabro, a shitload of creamy coconut, orange and grapefruit, pineapple, low bitterness. Medium body, good for the 3.9%. I love Sabro but the coconutty notes in this are quite intense even for me.

Can from The Made Inn Ashford and drunk at home. Hazy cloudy orange gold colour lasting cream head. Grapefruit aroma. Then coconut and grapefruit and gooseberry in the mouth. I mean it's got plenty of coconut milk and sweetness. Balanced with citrus acidity. Good bitterness on the finish. Yes fresh and interesting.
