Tropical fruit with a hint of grapefruit. Retains its soft mouthfeel and gentle bitterness but some of the flavour and aroma has disappeared. Says a lot for drinking these sorts of beer fresh (but not too fresh!)

Fruit salad, subtle coconut and hints of piney dankness. Just lovely…

Yikes, what a beer!
Quite possibly the best beer from my local brewery, certainly the best pale ale they’ve brewed for a long time.
Tropical fruit such as mango and passionfruit dominate the other flavours masterfully. Grapefruit is there but is in the background. Coconut is there but is subtle and kept in check. Guy has obviously done his research as Sabro can overpower with the coconut, even when used sparingly. Finally, the subtle dankness that goes head to head with the juicy sweetness at the end makes you realise how complex a beer it is.
Not bad for a first batch with two new hops. Low bitterness and medium carbonation mean the entire growler has been chugged quite aggressively 🤨
