Medium sweet fruity with prominent sabro forward fruity action, that nice pina colada vibe with pineapple and coconut with some citrus fruity grapefruit in support, sweet malts, medium body, light piney bitter hoppy close. Good stuff.

Bold tropical fruity affair, a cross section of fruit my hits of mango, tangerine, papaya, grapefruit, citrus rind, nice juiciness, medium body and carbonation, drying robust hoppy finish. Lovely.

Bright tasty fruity with lots of pineapple and lychee, some melon and peach, getting some herbal and floral notes with some lemongrass coming through, malts are light and reasonably sweet, medium body and a solid hoppy finish. Really nice.

Lovely idaho 7 shines here, lots of papaya and red grapefruit, touch of melon from the el dorado, sweet malty backing, resinous piney hoppy into the finish. Drinks so easy, another solid offering in this great Alpha Abstraction series of brews.

Talus hops bringing lots of vibrant stone fruit to the fore, and some grapefruit and orangey citrus juiciness, distinctive talus light wood accent in the background, piney herbal resinous lingering hoppy finish. All comes together well, lovely drop.

Another tasty Alpha Abstraction, this time with a variety of hop I've never seen: Bergamot. The name fits, seeing as this IPA is bursting with orange juice and zest and a touch of lime, followed by a touch of dank and modest pine on the finish. Good pint.
