Sabro® hops are a bold and aromatic American variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company. Released in 2018, Sabro® quickly gained attention for its intense tropical character and complex profile. Known for its versatility and expressive aroma, Sabro® hops are now a favorite among craft brewers looking to push flavor boundaries.
Sabro® hops deliver a vibrant mix of tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas. Notes of cedar, mint, and cream add depth and intrigue. With alpha acids typically ranging from 12% to 16%, Sabro® hops perform well in both bittering and aroma roles.
Although their aroma is the standout feature, Sabro® hops also contribute a smooth bitterness. They work especially well in hazy IPAs, pale ales, and experimental styles. When used in dry hopping, Sabro® hops bring out their full tropical intensity.
Brewers choose Sabro® hops for their ability to create bold, fruit-forward beers with a unique twist. They pair well with other expressive varieties like Citra®, Mosaic®, or El Dorado®, allowing for layered and juicy hop profiles. Sabro® hops also shine in single-hop beers, where their complexity can take center stage.
In the field, Sabro® hops are known for their strong agronomic performance and disease resistance. Their consistent yields and reliable quality make them a practical choice for growers and brewers alike. Additionally, their unique aroma profile sets them apart from traditional American hops.
