Maplewood Brewing Company Sabro Transit Authority
What the brewers say
“Our juicy, DDH love letter to Sabro hops. Huge notes of citrus, coconut, and overripe tropical fruit.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet honey grass, fresh-cut coconut, melon, candied tropical fruits. Lovely aroma. Fruit flavors to rival a smoothie: papaya, mango, yogurt-covered dried fruit pieces, sugarcane, breezy sea grass, and floral touches. A little sweet on the body with a pungent floral aspect that reaches a crescendo. A bold bitterness cushions the sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Thai-like sweetness and spice in the aroma with a touch of lemongrass, coconut, and overripe lychee, alongside a woody undertone. Quirky in the flavor, as an acidic tinge takes the fruit on an unexpected journey, with pithy tropical bitterness and a sunny-but-not-sweet disposition. It’s a left-field approach that feels challenging yet accessible.”
