Thanks Danny.
Light, clear, golden. White fluffy head pumps up past 2 fingers, slowly retreats to a thin ring. Good retention, light lacing.
Nose is gently herbal with a mild fruitiness. Guava meet lemon zest.
Flavor follows through with some light pepper, coriander, and mild guava. Not sure if I'd find the cinnamon listed if I didn't know about it. But I do, and I think I get some.
Mouthfeel is light to medium, decent carbonation, and finishes mildly herbal and better.

Very nice looking beer. Pours a mostly clear golden color with loads of dense white head, excellent retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is very heavy on the guava (yes, there's guava in this "Kolsch-style ale". There's nothing wrong with the aroma, I'm just struggling with the whole "guava / Kolsch" thing. Taste is interesting. The guava is present, albeit not as strongly as on the nose. The can notes that there is ceylon cinnamon used as well, and I can detect it here, but thankfully it was used with a deft touch that adds to the experience vs. dominating the palate. The underlying "Kolsch" notes are there, but play a secondary role to the guava. Medium bodied / carbonated.

Overall, it's an interesting beer for a great cause (benefits a Napa Valley non-profit that helps out high school students facing "extraordinary challenges"
