This single-hop American IPA showcases the unique aromatic complexity of Sabro hops against a clean, supportive malt backdrop. On the nose, intense notes of creamy coconut and ripe pineapple mingle with hints of cedar and stone fruit. The palate follows suit, delivering a punch of tropical flavors balanced by a firm, resinous bitterness that defines the style. A base of pale malts provides a light, grainy sweetness, ensuring the hop profile remains the centerpiece. Vibrant and refreshing, it finishes dry with a lingering tropical aftertaste and a smooth, medium-light body that highlights the creative and bold characteristics of this contemporary hop variety.
