Step right up, buckle in, and prepare for a high-g experience! We infused a classic German-style gose ale with loads of pink guava to create a thrilling amusement ride for your tastebuds. Guavatron features sweet, aromatic notes of pink guava and tropical citrus balanced by a moderate lactic tartness, slight salinity, and a crisp, dry finish.

Not a gose expert and sours aren't my cup of tea so I'm not the target market here. Came in a variety pack. It's a sipper for me but flavors seems on point.

Looks is slightly hazy with some rose tint, very little to no head. Smells is quite sour as expected, hiding fruit notes. Taste is sour forward and finishes with sweet guava. Low carbonation that is enhanced by the sourness. Very smooth going down, a good choice if you like sours. Not a lot going on, but it tastes as advertised

Poured from 12oz can into a tulip.
Appearance: murky pinkish-orange hue with a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop.
Smell: sweet and tart with a nice fresh, earthy guava aroma. The balance of sweetness and tartness gives a nice juicy/candy type of aroma, which I tend to like in a fruited beer.
Taste: earthy guava and a moderate sweetness along with a rather-tart sourness. It definitely has a good kick, and it's nicely balanced and appropriate to the style. I also fancy I can just just a hint of saltiness, which is appropriate to the style.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: as fruited Goses go, this one is pretty solid. It's what it says on the tin -- if a beer called "Guavatron" sounds like it will appeal to you, then you will probably like this.

On tap at Five West in Rochester. Pours a pink colour with virtually no head. Nose is some slight fruit, taste is where it's at. Guava, salt, finishes delicious.

Pours a murky plum/rose color with a short-lived white cap. Aroma is faint, sour citrus fruit. Flavor follows the nose a mix of sweet and sour with a touch of salt. Feel is light bodied and lightly carbonated. Overall, meh, drinkable on a hot day.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, fizzy orange color with a fairly small, white head of foam. It left minimal lacing on the glass. It smelled strongly of guava, lemon and some citrus. Nice tart guava taste with tropical notes with some lemon.

16 oz draft pour in a pint glass. This is about as basic of a fruited gose as you can get - light grain, light acidity, fruit front and center, and a hint of salinity. Light, spritzy mouthfeel - appropriate for the style. Decent.

Guavatron pours a dark pinkish color, with no head. Aroma is tart and filled with guava fruit. Flavor is same, tart, lots of guava fruit. Good body and feel. Overall, a very solid fruited sour beer.

12oz can. Canning date stamped on can bottom looks to be 03/24.21'. ABV% listed as 5.0.
Cloudy, guava colored body. Brief skinny finger of white head, reduces to interrupted skim cap. No lacing.
Aroma is guava fruit, lactic acid and a little salt.
Taste is moderately tart, and ends with some salinity. Tropical fruit flavor, mostly from guava, but also some lemon and orange citrus. Has the backdrop of lactic tartness. Quick drop off in the aftertaste, but more sweet and with a dry and crisp finish.
Medium, and dry mouth feel. Good carbonation.
Tasty kettle sour, but limited in depth.

12oz can. It was marked down at the store, probably old
No head, cloudy orange. The smell is very light and airy; almost nothing, slight lemon. Taste is sour lemon juice. No guava in sight. Very disappointing, a decent berliner, but a terrible fruit gose
