Pouring a beautiful soft cloudy pink and smelling of a tropical vacation, our Guava Gose is like a sour mashed wheat beer dosed with the largest and freshest batch of guava we could get away with. The base Gose (pronounced: Goes-ah) has a balanced lemony tartness from the presence of malted wheat, Himalayan pink sea salt and coriander with a flowery bright smoothness from guava. The end result is a perfect balance of tart, sweet, and sour, leaving you refreshed and wanting more.

Look: Pours a drabby, pinkish shade of muted orange with a billowing two finger head of dense white foam.
Aroma: Slightly tangy on the nose with big notes of guava, clementine and peach. Malt comes through in the background with a really pleasant wafer cookie note
Taste: Creamy for the style and refreshingly tart with really rich notes of malted grain and bread, almost like salted macadamia cookies or something. Immediately goes tangy with ripe flavors of guava, sour lemon and subtle hints of spicy coriander and apricot. Ends on clean flavors of sour lemon and salt.
Feel: Crisp and refreshing but still full bodied for such a light 4.9% beer. Salt and tartness levels are moderate, pairing nicely with the weight of the brew.
Overall: This was excellent. Very happy I bought this on a whim after not really knowing what I was in the mood for.

What a very strange beer. at first I hated it but the more I drank it the more I liked it (top ten even). It was super unique it doesn't really taste like beer it tastes like sour salty juice but in a very pleasing way.

Very hazy salmon body with a beautiful white head
Very nice guava presence. Hard to get the coriander but the salt is there too.
Velvety mouthfeel with fizzy carbonation
Nice

Can: Poured a bright reddish color gose with a large pink color head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with fresh guava notes is quite nice. Taste is a mix of nice refreshing notes of guava and fresh lightly sweet guava notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Very refreshing gose with nice fruity undertones.
