sour and bitter is never a good combination in my opinion. Aroma was interesting but taste is not to my liking

Bought this once previously, taking a can with me for the canshare at San Simeon. I gave it a 4.00 on Untappd and wrote, “Still not into this hop, but this was well made. Outstanding.” No real description I could really see except on the can that read, “seasonal haze india pale ale.” Sabro hop description that I found was, “Sabro is an aroma hop that is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint and cream.”

Poured a light amber semi-hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of off-white frothy head. Lots of different bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. World-class foamy retention. (Sight - 4.50)

Smelled tangerine, stone fruit, vanilla cream, herbal and woody cedar. From the can was mainly stone fruit, tangerine and mango. (Smell - 4.00)

Taste was about as good as the nose. Got stone fruit, tangerine, vanilla cream, woody cedar, bitter pine, herbal, tropical zest and some peppery spice. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Bitter, woody finish. (Feel - 4.25)

Still not so sure about this hop, but this was an outstanding beer. (Overall - 4.00)

Canned 3/28/19, drank on 4/14/19. Pours a... well, very ugly color. It's not hazy, it's just kind of dark and murky, a dull, almost brown shade of orange. Smells fairly promising, with strong aromas of hops coming through. Flavor is very bitter and watery, almost tastes like a west coast IPA, but a bad one. Or as if you poured it over ice, forgot about it, and all the ice melted. Body is, surprise, very light and watery. I'm not sure if their beers have a very short shelf life, or they're just bad from the get-go, but this is another can of disappointment from NOVO Brazil.
