Guava Gose
Saint Archer Brewing Co.

Let me start off by saying that before I even opened the can I knew that this wasn’t going to be my kind of beer.

Looks okay, yellow, very slight haze, white lacy head. The smell is off-putting, like “feet”. The flavor, sour, tangy, not the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth just not my type of beer. And it smells weird.

 

Saint Archers Guava Gose pours a very hazy light gold with a thin white head. Little to no head retentive which is not abnormal for the style. There is a hint of the guava in the aroma but mostly just the salt and wheat. On the taste the carbonation and tart take the front seat with the salt and coriander taking the back seat. Refreshing on a hot Las Vegas day.

Slightly cloudy light golden yellow pour with a foamy white head. Tart guava and salt aroma. Taste is salty with a briney quality and a tart guava fruit presence.

Just... don't. Can hardly detect any guava here, but there's a pinch on the nose if you really use your imagination. Flavor is meh, and has that same taste that most mass-produced goses now have. Body is just as bland and disappointing. As a fan of the style, I try a new one whenever I see it. More often that not, however, I'm let down, and this was no exception.

 

The beer pours out a pale golden straw color, with a thin white head------------ the aromas are of wheat, tartness, guava, grass and salt--------------- the flavors are of over ripe guava, salt and wheat, the beer has a thin mouthfeel with a salty tart finish-------------- overall this is a nice fruited gose, light and refreshing with some funky over ripe fruit coming through
