Highly drinkable.
Nose is fruit forward especially guava and lime. Quite an outstanding nose that is strong and present but balanced and not overwhelming.
Taste is tart and mildly sour with the same fruit notes.
Finishes strong with lingering mild fruit tart

 

 

 

Foggy burnt orange with a short fuzzy white head.

At the time, I asked if it was passion fruit because Untappd wasn't specific as to the fruits, but I found it to be a nice flavor profile regardless.

Now knowing via BA that it's guava, lime and pineapple, it makes since, what with guava commonly being combined with passion fruit in beer, and pineapple and lime adding that playful tartness.

Slightly crisp and on the lighter side, it's a touch seedy, sometimes translating as sweet mango in the lightly sticky finish.

Out of a can at Dark Lord Day 2026, this was actually shockingly guava forward and deliciously refreshing. Upping my 4.04 score.

 

 

A half fingers worth of crisp fizzy bone white colored froth with very limited retention... Color is a vibrant tangerine... mostly still... Highly intoxicating and inviting nose... The mix of pineapple, papaya and lime is stellar... I also pick up some tangerine, pink grapefruit and blood orange... Flavor profile is a bit more concentrated but equally untucking and enjoyable... All the expected flavors are present and there are no surprises... Feel is on the lighter side of medium... A good bit of prickly carbonation... A very nice experience all the way around...

 

 

 

 

 

 

12oz can. Canning date is stamped on bottom as '03/08/23'.
Cloudy, pale gold colored body. Thin white head settles back to a partial cap and ring. Leaves behind a partial ring of lacing.
Aroma of lime, guava, pineapple, and grapefruit.
Taste is quite tart but also fruity sweet. Flavors of key lime, guava, and pineapple. Fruit and lactic acid in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Dry finish, and okay enamel scraper. Good carbonation.
A sour type beer that displays the fruit well.

Since I've had many brews from Urban Artifact, I thought I had tried this one, until I had a sip. Then I instantly saw this as new-to-me.

The pour is like a dirty tropical drink with just a bit of fizz. The aroma is exotic. Astringent tropical fruits mingle from the aroma to the taste, with a boatload of pucker that lingers very nicely.

Highly recommended. I would have remembered this. It may be similar to others from them, but this one is unique.

 

 

12 FL OZ can
Served in a perfect pint glass

This beer pours a hazy orange color and is topped with a couple inches of large bubbled, beige head that leaves nice lacing.

Guava stands out. Lime adds a complimentary smell.

Guava and lime all day. Guava begins the journey. Tart lime quickly intersects and passes the guava flavor. Lingering tartness.

Thin bodied with a dry mouthfeel

Great summer sipper.
