DROP PROJECT - STRAIGHT UP SABRO

Drop Project are a new-ish set-up, having had the brilliant luck to start operating in late 2019 and giving themselves literally _months_ to get themselves a good name before all the bars closed. Good thing that setting up a brewery equipment is normally such a stress-free experience.

Anyhow, that'd be more of a worry if they hadn't been knocking out a seemingly endless stream of, to slip into Lee's vernacular, absolute bangers. Given that they've got the brewing and engineering chops of JT, who was the secret sauce behind first Fourpure and then Gypsy Hill's swift expansions, that shouldn't be a surprise. We've been happy to stock anything that comes out of their sticky paws and this ode to new hop Sabro is another cracking little number.

Peachy pale, opaque, with a smooth light body and a good crest of white foam, the Sabro Straight Up goes straight for the lychee, peach and coconut on the nose, with a hint of cloudy apple. It drinks very easily at 5.8%, and shows off those tropical fruit notes to full effect, with a touch of tangerine coming in, on a very drinkable hazy New England malt base. As good a demonstration of what sets Sabro apart as we've tried, really pushing the gentle creamy notes without losing fruity succulence.

Would pair very happily with something hearty but fragrant, such as a Mauritian chicken cari, or just some fresh fried snacks before a meal.
