Reborn from our Virginia Craft Beer Cup award winning Guava Gose, this funky sour ale was conditioned on copious amounts of guava to impart bold tropical flavors.

Beautifully tart and fruity. Very refreshing. A Gose with multiple fruits, salt and lime especially. Cloudy and light bodied. Thin head. Drink to be refreshed on a warm day. Or at the pool or beach.

L: Had this on-tap at Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a pint glass. Had pale yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a thin, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not a whole lot of lacing to speak of.
S: A very nice aroma of tropical fruit, malt, citrus fruit, and yeast.
T: Tasted of a small amount of yeast (not a huge component), a light dusting of salt (a fleeting presence), lots of tropical fruit (guava, of course), light malt, and some citrus fruit (orange). A light and effervescent flavor. It's not as overwhelmingly sour as some goses, but definitely has some there. An interesting flavor.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a creamy finish. Light-bodied.
O: This is a solid, easy to drink beer. Worth a try.
