This Double IPA showcases the singular, complex profile of the Sabro hop, delivering an intense sensory experience characterized by distinct notes of creamy coconut, ripe tangerine, and tropical stone fruit. At 8.2% ABV, it maintains a clean, neutral malt backbone that allows the unique herbal and woody cedar undertones of Sabro to shine through. While traditional Double IPA structures demand a firm bitterness, this expression leans into a smooth, plush fruitiness with a lingering tropical finish. The result is a modern, hop-forward powerhouse that balances potent strength with high drinkability and a multifaceted aromatic bouquet.
Appearance.Pale gold to light orange (7–9 SRM) with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing. Exhibits a slight haze, consistent with a heavily dry-hopped modern profile.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent creamed coconut, pineapple, and citrus zest. Secondary notes of cedar, mint, and stone fruit are supported by a clean, neutral, cracker-like malt background. Very low fruity fermentation esters.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impression of coconut, mango, and tangerine. Bitterness is firm and assertive but smooth, lacking any harsh resin. The malt character is low and unobtrusive, providing a soft bready foundation. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a long, lingering tropical and resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A well-integrated, gentle alcohol warmth is present but remains restrained and smooth.
