Pale yellow in color and plenty hazy. There's a fingernail of brilliant white covering the top. The aroma is of lime, guava, and pale wheat. The taste is faint pale wheat and guava. The lime to cactus like flavors of guava are much more apparent in the taste than the aroma. The mouth is very light and a touch watery.

Best by date is only a tiny bit on the can, the rest is apparently out in the ether.
Pours a nice fizzy bubbly head that hits a finger before disappearing back pretty quickly, just a touch of lacing, a murky hazy pear tan color.
Nose is like a tart gose, plenty of creamy wheat, toasty notes, lemony tartness and a little lactic acidic sourness, hint of coriander like spices, mostly lemony like citrus and maybe a very faint guava
Taste brings tartness again, more lactic acid and creamy yet nice acidity, plenty of wheat as well, creamy wheat, a little toasty bready and a touch biscuity even, plenty of lemony citrus again, this time more guava but I wouldn't say guava king, guava juice and lemon juice blended, maybe a hint of coriander like spices as well but that could be my brain playing tricks on me, a little juicy citrus fruit. Dry but flemmy acidic finish, lingering citrus and a little guava.
mouth is lighter bod, a bit of acidity and flemmy finish, decent small bubble carbonation.
Overall not bad as a gose style beer, nice wheat and lactic acid, creamy and a bit tart, as far as guava there is some but not a ton, I wouldn't call it the guava king by any means.

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a cloudy yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, salty, light guava. Taste is tangy, wheat, salt, guava, dry at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is an o.k. beer, but one is plenty for me.
