Clear golden amber with plenty of foam in the Stella Artois goblet. Fruity aroma, and if they say it is brewed with guava I'll say that's what it smells like. Slushy mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation. Fruity and sharp with just a hint of sweetness. Quite a tangy finish with moderate stems and some bitterness. This is a thoroughly drinkable brew with plenty of hops but a restrained bitterness. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station. Dated 2/26/26.

Canned 2-25-26. Pour is a light amber, few floaters. Pop the can open, pour into glass with a firm hand and enjoy a sunny morning in the middle of the pineapple harvest. The effect is fleeting, so be aware. The tropical fruit continues down the taste and feel. Bitterness is adequate, but the beer seems a bit unbalanced, with a lingering light sour taste. Overall, refreshing and enjoyable such as it is. Dial back the fruit a little and it would.

Draft at Here's How. Foggy golden pour, small, thin foamy head. Tropical fruity aroma, pineapple. Taste is tropical, pineapple with a hint of coconut.

This time of year I’m over the stouts so this was a welcome change towards IPA freedom.
Smells a bit sweet for me. I was worried about any guava flavor but no problem here.
Very gapped beer this time of year!

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a quarter finger white head that dissipates to a thick cap with light lacing. Aroma of pale malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, coconut and mixed tropical fruit. Flavor is pale malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, yuzu, pineapple, guava, mixed tropical fruit, citrus zest and a touch of dankness. Nice citrus rind bitterness in the finish with lingering tropical fruit. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Well, this was one IPA I can't act surprised that it had lots of tropical fruit character; it's exactly what it promises. I does lean to West Coast with serious citrus flavors, but also lots of tropical fruit too. I was surprised by the coconut in the aroma and thought first I was imagining it due to the tropical theme, but apparently the Docita hops used here have that as a flavor component and both the aroma and taste exhibit it; it's quite appropriate. This is one fruit character IPA I can appreciate. Nicely done and flavorful.
