El Sabro is light on the haze, heavy on the fruity hops, and while the label infuriates me,* it’s extremely pleasant to drink.**
There are ha-yuuuge piña colada vibes going on here: creamy coconut, juicy pineapple, yes to rain, no to yoga, etc. While the smell is stronger on the coconut (while never veering into that sun lotion quality that Sabro can give if not treated right), the taste leans more towards the pineapple side, with a pop of passionfruit for good measure. That means this beer tastes sweeter than it smells… but really it’s more about the impression of sweetness. Fruitiness rather than sugariness, if that makes sense.

* I’m not a short-tempered person, and I don’t have a problem with anthropomorphic cacti in general. But come on – cacti children on INFLATABLES? Who on earth thought this was a good idea??? Those cacti parents should be ASHAMED of themselves.
**It’s also picked up gold medals at a couple of beer awards, if that’s important to you.
