Along with these there may be more herbal notes, like sage and eucalyptus. Possibly even a background note of hay and cedar may also be noted.

    Sabro is an aroma hop that is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream.


    I am all for a bit of experimentation, but let's not lose sight of traditional English beer brewed using traditional English hops in this headlong rush for exotic "IPAs".
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Couldn't agree more. I try experimental beers but almost inevitably I never want to drink more than a half, or a pint at most. My problem with modern "hop forward" beers is that they are designed to drink like fruit juice, rather than being a balanced drink where the hops, malt and yeast all contribute to the beer. This is very clever, no doubt, but so are subtlety and sophistication, in my opinion.
