There’s nothing quite like your first taste. Hop farmers are breeding insane new flavors—one sip and you’ll be hooked. To truly harness these new flavors though, you’ve got to dabble a bit and test them out. The new hop blend blew our minds, so for DABBLE, we’re taking our experiment full scale with massive loads of hops so everyone can experience it. Sabro provides an incredible coconut note, Cashmere brings a soft, delicate complexity, and Idaho 7 brings potency and depth. Dip a toe in—dare to DABBLE.

5/5/19...pours thick cloudy murky brown copper. Orange citrus nose. Slight lemon. Funky harsh lemon infused earthy bitter taste. Buttery too. Fascinating blend, worth trying for sure.

Today is the ocCANsion of Sixpoint Me the Way to New Beer Sunday (Week 749) & this shall be the first of my triumphal return, having been forced to sit out last week. Even better, this is from a Slimline CAN in support of The CANQuest (tm)!

I love Crack!ing open a new Slimline CAN! This was to have been the wave of the future, taken from Red Bull, but it just did not catch on. 8=( Once the vent was vented, I wented with a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. It puffed up mightily to form just over two fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, tawny head with great retention. Nose was redolent with coconut! 8=O I love coconut, although I know that not everyone does. I used to put dried, shredded coconut into a LOT of baked dishes before baking them in the oven & not just desserts. I made some casseroles that were really tasty & the kitchen smelled much like this beer! Yum. Color was a downright cloudy solid-Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9). Mouthfeel was medium. The taste was not as pleasant as on the nose. It had an amalgam of tropical fruit flavors, but I just felt that the citrusy flavors were not meshing well with the aforementioned coconut. That is why, when the used to make them, I always set aside the coconut ones in a roll of Tropical Fruit Life Savers - all of the other flavors (mango, tangerine, pineapple, guava, passion fruit) went well together, but coconut was to be savored all by itself. Finish had a surprising return of coconut dominance! Wow. That was CANpletely & totally unexpected. I liked it, for the most part, but I am unsure that I would want a steady diet of this one. CAN a beer be made with JUST Sabro hops? I'd love to try it! YMMV.

Im into it. This IIPA has a nice coconut/tropical thing going on that makes you forget its 8.2%. This is a great warm weather beer and perfect for sipping while floating around in a pool. Ill be knocking back a few of these this summer.

Can from a Lazy Dog.
Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a decent sized off white head that persists. Fruity light caramel and bready maltiness with some faint earthy citrus and pine. Decent but a bit sweet for my tastes. Canned in JAN says good till July. Maybe would have been better if fresher.
