Modern West Coast Session IPA, Hopped and Dry-Hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic Cryo & Sabro!

It’s been a while since we used Sabro in a beer - we’re back to 2021 and Stop Making Sense - but we have a few beers coming out with a fresh crop of Sabro, and this is one of them.

Sabro is an interesting hop, and very unlike any other variety - it has this intense, sweet-ish flavor with notes of ripe melon and coconut. And these hop notes are often associated with hazy IPA’s, but not so much West Coasts.

This gives a more sweet hop aroma in this distinctly West Coast-y IPA. It’s still super-dry, a moderate to high bitterness, and superb clarity when you pour it - yet there’s this Sabro character that reminds me of New England vibes.
