Brazilian-style sour ale with exotic tropical fruit, including curuba (banana passionfruit), feijoa (pineapple guava), graviola (soursop - sort of like a mix between pineapple and strawberry), maracuja (passion fruit), and goiaba (Brazilian guava!).

From a can.
Pours the color of a thick NE-style juice bomb. It’s labeled as an imperial Catharina-style ale, with curuba, feijoa, graviola, maracujá, and goiaba fruit. The combination works wonders. I definitely get a big punch of guayaba, from the first sniff to the full sip. It’s thick, heavy, and a little …chunky? (Grainy might be more apt, almost literally, as it is full of particulate) with a lot of fruit purée and just a slight tartness. I could see this making for an incredible slushee.
