Braaaaaaaains - Guava Guava Guava
Drekker Brewing Company

 

Cloudy, dusty pink color. Thin, pink head. Pleasant aroma of guava, vanilla, and lactic sugar. Moderate tartness in juicy, fruity taste. The aroma is amazing.

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours like a smoothie with a pinkish salmon color capped by a mauve head; a thick film coats the glass

Smell: Tropical guava with a hint of vanilla aromatics

Taste: Guava smoothie flavors, primarily sweet with a tart touch; vanilla and a hint of salt in the finish

Mouthfeel: Thick body with low carbonation

Overall: Enjoyable, as all of these smoothie sours tend to be

 

 

 

Tasted in a Rastal Teku glass from a one pint can on April 7, 2021. Look is thick grapefruit puree. Loaded with guava aromas and flavors. Feel is a little thin.

Kinda low on bubbles even for the Brains series. That said, the guava is pretty nice and not overwhelming. Mild tartness, lactic guava daiquiri style. Medium body and creamy. Soft acidity lingers through with a bit of tropical fruit.

I love this stuff. It is a beer or not? Anyways this version is Guava, plus a ton more guava. The pour of the beer created a two-fingered light off salmon pink color. The retention of the head is good leaving an unusual lacing on the glass. The color of the beer is a brown/salmon pink color like oxidized fruit. Pouring the beer out was thicker than an Imperial stout. The appearance of the beer is akin to a smoothie. Overall the beer looks tasty.

The aromas in the beer are pears, strawberries, lightly toasted malts, vanilla, a fruity sweetness, and subtle tropical undertones.

The flavors of the beer are vanilla, lemons, pears, berries, salty, subtle earthiness, tropical, lightly toasted malts, floral, and a touch of herbal.

The mouthfeel of the beer is tart, thick, and coating.

The body of the beer is medium-plus, medium-low carbonation, and full finish.

This beer is awesome. The guava in the beer is ripe and fruity. The vanilla adds character and the tartness balances the beer out. I enjoyed sipping on this beer

 

 

L: An unattractive salmon coloration: Somewhat brown, and pink, and orange at the same time. I suppose the fruit can't help it's color. There are no fruits other than Guava in this beer so they must have used some pink guava. There is a thin beige head with decent retention, but only grit coats the glass.

S: Definately guava. I eat green/yellow varieties of guava all the time, and this makes me wonder if the pink or other varieties used has a bit of a berry aroma as well.

T: Follows the nose. Off-dry with a bit of beer and hops present in the mix. A little white grape on the hopping.

F: Weight and mouthfeel are all spot on. There is less grit than I would expect from cubing the guava addition, but still some remains.

O: Really enjoyed this Braaaaaaaains. Not as much as some, so I would probably buy a single in the future.

Drekker Guava Guava Guava Braaaaaaaains Double Fruit Smoothie Sour, 7% ABV. Pours thick and hazy fugly brownish orange, with a one-finger white head that left residue from the puree. Nose is strong vanilla and some guava. Taste is guava and slight vanilla, moderately sweet and equally tart, with salt on the aftertaste. Decent mouthfeel, overall very good.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 11/25/20, so a month old.

Looks pretty good in the glass. Dull dark pink/apricot colored body. Small white head shrinks to a ring, but either the head or the body still leaves a film of lacing.

Good pleasing fruity guava aroma.

On tasting, well, they've done it again. Big taste of fresh fruit guava dominates. Every now and then, a little sea salt settles on the lips for balance. Loving this.

Mouth full, finish slightly more sour than sweet fruit.

Overall, Drekker is the leader in fresh fruit smoothie sours. All others fall a little short in one way or another.

Can. Not as pulpy as some of them, but still thick. Pale orange pink color.

Tons of guava. Lots of fruit. Light tartness. Jamba Juice beer. Another good ‘beer’ in the series.
