16oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a film on top

S- lots of guava on the nose gives a huge fresh tropical aroma, followed by undertones of lemon peel, mint leaves, grapefruit, ripe melon & lactose, which gives it a creamy vanilla note

T- guava follows the nose, providing a juicy tropical fruit note, along with flavors of cantaloupe, lime, citrus zest & mint. Mid-palate gives a creamy lactose flavor that adds a vanilla note. The finish is semi-dry and adds more guava and citrus, with that clean mint-like note sticking around on the linger

M- medium body and carbonation leads to a creamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish

O- fruity, juicy & refreshing with superior drinkability, good stuff

Canned 10/29/18. Super old can, and I almost feel guilty rating it. Nevertheless, let's see how it has aged, or should I say, developed.
L: Well, the age is apparent. Amber/burnt yellow in color. Looks unfiltered but doesn't have the haze presence that other Humble Sea Foggy IPAs posses. Head amounted to about a finger of a loosely packed heat that dissipated rapidly. Moderate amount of lacing on the glass. The beer is plagued with floaties that are abundant in the glass. I swear chunks of guava are also chilling in this cess pool of brew. For what it's worth, when the goodies settle, the beer still looks good.
S: Holy momma of guava. Guava, guava, and more guava. Crap, if I didn't know better, I would say there is guava in this beer. Following guava, is lemon, grapefruit and mango. Lactose also present on the nose proving a creamy aroma complexity.
T: For the age, this still tastes pretty damn good. 5 bucks for the person who could guess what flavor dominates the profile? You sir, in the front row, what is your answer? "Banana!?" No you dumb fool, GUAVA! Seriously, this beer is liquified guava with hints of mango, nectarine and lemon. Finish is sweet and slightly tart with lingering milk sugar aftertaste. Hop presence is minimal.
F: Medium in body and weight. Lacks the soft aspect I bet it embodied when fresh, but the feel is still great. Zero booze presence.
O: For a beer this age, this still is fantastic. The guava really takes it up a notch. Too bad I didn't have when fresher. For 8.2abv it drinks well. I don't get the "milkshake" aspect, but again I bet it's because of age. I am still grateful to have tried. Cheers!
