A New England Double IPA with Mosaic, Citra and HBC 438, better known under the name of Sabro.
Inspired by dramatic story of identical triplets adopted by three separate families unaware of each other before they turned 19. Heroes and victims of an undisclosed ‘nature versus nurture’ twin study – unlike this set of three beers which are also monozygotic in every detail except one final hopping.

Can. Bright yellow, cloudy, yellowish foam. Exotic aroma: tropical fruits, passion fruit, citrus, herbs, mint, woody. Slightly sweet taste, citrus, juicy, passion fruit, lime, herbs, a little coconut, wood, very soft and pleasant.

Can sourced from Beer Republic and shared at home (12/06/2020) - yellow hazed pour with a white head. Sweet fruity and malty, again rather cloying sweet, sweet shop boiled sweets, who stole my sabro? not getting any coconut pina colada vibe here, rather a thin mouthfeel, normally love AF but these 3 not doing it for me 😢

Can. Candy fruits snout on this one, promises much. A light haze on this gold beer (it's not clear, must be a hazy dipa then!). Small pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Obvious Sabro hops but somewhat skewed, something of a spicy banana element! Soft pine and spicy light citrus. Smooth piney weird Sabro finish with hop spice starting to bite. Quite drinkable but I find one eyebrow is cocked whilst doing so. Odd.

Can at home. Hazy yellow to light orange color, no head. Aroma and flavor are really just like a fruit juice. Sweetness, very fruity, tropical fruit. It is disappointing imo. Very solid as a fruit juice I would say but not a lot that really reminds me of beer.
