Sabro in Sweet, Heavy Beer?

[Clint Yeastwood]

I used to make a heavy beer with a lot of wheat in it. I used wheat even though it was inspired by Chimay Tripel. I used Nugget and Crystal hops. I thought it was great. I decided to brew it again, but I wanted to try different hops. I seem to use a lot of Crystal. After a ton of searching, I decided to use Sabro for bittering and aroma.

This is a sweet, strong beer you're really better off drinking from a wine glass. Think Sabro will work well? Descriptions made this hop sound fruity, so I thought it would go well with this beer. Shooting for around 35 IBU.

My experience with Sabro is that it imparts a coconutty cream flavor.... I use it in a hazy with BRU-1 and it's very tasty...

A very curious sensory plot for Sabro....

Cheers!

Yeah, I saw that. Is it reliable? No idea. It looks perfect for this beer.

I made a SMaSH with Sabro and it was killer good. If you like coconut cream with a tiny whisper of key lime zest, this can rock your socks off.
