Here's yet another one from the series of "oh wow, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, I've had it so many times."
I think the last 6 pack was scored from Safeway. Pours yellow, plenty of cloudy haze to it. 1/3" white head. The aroma has a decent display of guava, albeit through a slightly perfumed pretext. Tartness perceived through the nose.
The taste pushes a sour, tart, guava portfolio to the exclusion of about everything else out there. Its sweet, yet sour. There isn't much to discern in the realm of hops, malt or yeast. But guava? Yes, it has plenty of one of the cheapest fruits out there in abundance. You can see why something like this would be in the portfolio it is. $10/6 pack, but by way of ingredients, its a good ratio cost input wise. A lot of people who don't want standard beer tastes or bitter beer taste have flocked to these cart variations.
These are decent beers to have in your cooler in the summer, its a beer for non beer drinkers quite often, but it isn't so disgusting you, the beer nerd, should frown upon a free offering.

My second favorite - of the mixed “cart” pack. Poured a 12 oz can > weizen glass. Light coral color. Cloudy, but thin. Small residual head. Not quite as tasty as the mango cart(imo) but still very tasty. My wife doesn’t like beer…she likes it. You really get the guava/passionfruit. You don’t like fruit beer? Don’t drink this. If you do? You’ll like it. Cheers!

Great summertime beer - hands down...
Decent looking - hazy and lightly orange in color with a smell that is deliciously all guava. (Makes me want to make a guava beer as a homebrewer.) Mouthfeel is light, crisp, and well carbonated but not detracting. Ah, the taste, as close to being a dessert beer without being one - it is full of guava taste, passionfruit, and light on hops - a great summertime treat. I'm glad I was able to get to this before this summer season ended...

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a cloudy golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, passion fruit, guava. Taste follows the aroma, but flavors are more pronounced, slightly tart, some wheat. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a refreshing and decent beer.

12 oz can poured into a tulip pint glass. Pours a cloudy dark yellow/light amber with an off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature sweet tropical fruit, wheat, and a small amount of acidity. It's a straightforward fruited wheat ale, easy to drink but not a standout.

Cloudy light orange-yellow color with substantial foamy off-white head that produces a bit of decent lacing.
The aroma is guava and passion fruit.
The taste is somewhat tart guava and passion fruit with a slightly sweet malt base. The finish is tart passion fruit.
The body is medium, carbonation is moderate, very smooth and easy to drink.
Altogether this could be a tasty and refreshing summer brew.

Tastes more like Champagne than beer, but if go in with the expectation of a sweet bubbly low alcohol drink, you probably won't be disappointed.

Aroma is guava/passion fruit and mild sweetness. The flavor is guava/the expected big passion fruit, malts and a tart/mildly sweet finish.

Bought a 6-pack cans $10.49 Foodland

Smell of passion fruit and guava
Hazy golden-orange color
Medium-heavy mouthfeel. A little thick like juice
Medium carbonation
Taste some tartness from the passion fruit, guava flavors follows
Overall good for the style and delivers on its description. The freshness probably helps that fresh fruit flavors come through.
