Sabro Hops - U.S. Grown T-90 Pellets
Sabro Hops for Tangerine, Coconut, Tropical Fruit, and Cedar
Sabro hops are U.S.-grown T-90 pellets known for a profile that stands apart from more familiar American citrus hops. Yakima Chief describes Sabro with tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, stone fruit, and cedar-like notes, making it a strong choice when a beer needs a distinctive aromatic signature.
Use Sabro when you want a hop that can lead the recipe instead of disappearing into the background. It fits IPA, hazy IPA, pale ale, wheat beer, specialty lager, and tropical hop blends, especially when coconut or woody citrus character should be part of the finished beer.
Flavor and brewing use
- Primary notes: tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, stone fruit, and cedar-like wood character.
- Best use: late kettle additions, whirlpool additions, hop stands, and dry hopping.
- Recipe fit: IPA, hazy IPA, pale ale, wheat beer, specialty lager, and fruit-forward blends.
- Process note: use the alpha acid printed on the package for bitterness calculations.
Recipe planning notes
Sabro is expressive, so balance matters. Use it as the lead hop when coconut, tangerine, and cedar are welcome, or blend it with Citra, Mosaic, Strata, or other fruit-forward hops when you want the Sabro character to add depth rather than dominate.
