Bottle at home, köszi Petra! Pours weird murky peach juice colour with white head. Nose is peach, mango, light coconut and cedar (or it's only me knowing that it's sabro haha). Taste is tropical fruits again, mainly cantaloupe, a hint of peaches again, chedar too, candy sweetness. Some bitterness also appears at the of the sip but it's actually very welcome. Closes with moderately bitter, a bit sticky sweet finish, has light, creamy body and soft carbo. Not the best showcase of Sabro tbh, but a solid NEIPA nevertheless.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Petra, koszi! Pours murky peach colour with off white head. Nose is pulpy tropical fruits, sweet candy, stone fruits, sticky sweetness. Taste is light to medium sweetness, light booze and tropical fruits, some bitterness appears here to balance things out, not usual for a NEIPA but I personally dont mind it. Closes with sticky sweet finish, has medium to full body and soft to average carbo. Not the perfect NEIPA for sure, but for some reason I do like it.

Bottle at home, koszi Petra! Pours oily black with brownish hue. Nose is chocolate, booze, molasses, light smoke and coffee. Taste is booze, faint chocolate, molasses, roasted malts and coffee with a faint metallic touch. Closes with a sweetish, but kinda watery finish, has a light to medium body and soft carbonation. Drinks well below the ABV.

Bottle shared at home with Gabor Gábor. Jet black pour, beige head. Chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, booze and molasses with the spicyness of the rum, providing an extra layer. Lovely stuff, but a tad too thin so it doesnt really reach greatness.

Bottle shared at home with Gabor Gábor. Black pour, quickly dissipating off-white head. Nose is dark malts, chocolate, light coffee and booze. Taste is booze and chocolate, coffee and roasted malts, the barrel aging is apparent but not at all in-your-face. Closes with a sweet, boozy chocolatey coffee finish, has a light (perhaps too light) body and soft carbonation. Nice, but with a bigger body it could be even better.

Bottle shared, koszi Petra! Murky ruby pour with a quickly dissipating head. Nose is blackberry, that classic fermented pineapple character and yoghurt. Taste is tart, lactic and fruity upfront with a vague yoghurt touch and a rather salty finish. Light bodied with soft to average carbonation.

Bottle at home. Pours semi opaque golden with white head. Nose is apricot, candy, light pine, citruses. Taste is also stone fruits, candy, citrus zest. Starts out sweetish but the finish is kinda empty and becomes excessively sweet. Medium bodied with soft carbo. Got a feeling that it's been centrifuged that screwed up the beer here and there. Still not terrible tho.

Can at home, courtesy of Petra, koszi! Pours hazy, somewhat orangeish golden with a thin head. Nose is spicy, slightly fruity and herbal, grassy and resinous hops. Taste is sweetish upfront, showing spicy, earthy, herbal and resinous hops and some vague bitterness in the end. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Ekuanot is not my fav variety and this is brimming with notes of it, so do the math.

Can at home, courtesy of my fam. A FIRST eddigi legdecensebb kettle sourje kétségtelenül, egészen jól egyben van, de a sajttorta aroma eléggé lelombozó ebben is.
