I am not a fan of fruit-inspired I.P.A.s or Milkshake I.P.A. I have pushed this back in the fridge, and now the fridge's depths are showing. I am serving the beer in a pint glass at 44 degrees. Prying the can open, I can smell the guava emitting. The pour created a frothy, creamy, two-fingered head with above-average retention. The slow dissipation left chunks of lacing on the glass. Looking at the beer's color, I am charting it at S.R.M. 4, pale gold with light yellow hues, with some haziness. The haziness is not on par with a typical N.E.I.P.A. but has some yeast floaties. The appearance of the beer is above average.
The aroma from the can was sweet guava, and now nosing the glass, I get that smell along with bready malts. I had to swirl the glass a few times to coax the other aromas of floral, herbal, earthy, and light orange peels. The bready/doughy malts do not offer any other notes. The guava overpowers the beer base flavors.
Sipping the glass, I taste guava, orange peel, resins, apricots, and bready malts. While sipping the beer again, I taste herbal, floral blossoms, earthy dirt, and grass. The back end of the beer has this phenolic flavor, probably from the yeast. It is unpleasant with the heavy presence of guava.
The beer's body is medium and has medium carbonation. The mouthfeel is astringent, and it finishes tannic and powdery.
I was trying to find what I liked about this beer; yes, it has an assload of guava, which I think hides the base layer of the beer. The phenols that I taste are akin to band-aids. I am not judging the beer on freshness because I pushed it away for a while. Overall, I am not a fan of this beer. The brewers created a base I.P.A. and hid those beautiful qualities in an abyss of fruitiness.

Conshohocken Brewing Co. "Blood Money Hazy Guava IPA"
16 fl. oz. can. The "CANNED ON" date is illegible. Sampled on 05/27/23
$2 @ Weis, Conshohocken, PA
Notes via stream of consciousness: The body is quite hazy, there's no doubt about that. I'll even call it cloudly like a hefeweizen. The color is golden with a brassy sheen, and the head is a finger's width of white foam. In the nose it's far more hoppy and dank than fruity from guava but there is some of that as well. It's fairly bold and bright, and it hooks you in. The taste follows the aroma with lots of dank character coming through upfront. There's fruit to those hops as well but it's not clear what's really there, and yet the guava is clear. It's entirely possible that I'm imagining that as well. I'm getting orange, nectarine, and maybe some berries and passionfruit as well, so maybe what I just said about it not really being clear is wrong, you just have to look harder. Or maybe it's just that the beer is warming up now. In any case it's a nice blend of hops and guava balanced nicely against the sweetish malt and firm bitterness. In the mouth it's medium bodied but it feels a little bit fuller because of all the extra proteins and its fine-bubbled, median carbonation. I honestly don't remember the original Blood Money done with Blood Orange but this one is certainly hard to argue against.
