SEPTEMBER 2023. 33 cl can
Collaboration with the Croatians of The Garden Brewery.
4.6% Fruited Sour with guava puree, coconut, salt, lactose and oat flakes.
It's part of the Vetra brewery's series of "one-shot" collaborations with other European breweries.
Beer information:
"Malts: Pils and oat flakes.
Fruit: Guava puree and toasted coconut chips
Yeast: Philly Sour".
On the nose I smell pineapple and passion fruit.
Once poured, the foam is non-existent (similar to that of a Prosecco or a Campari).
Pale yellow color, sheer and quite a bit opaque
The bubbles continue to rise even after being poured.
In the mouth, an explosive guava taste (as soon as you drink it it's decidedly clearer than the scent that reminded me of passion fruit) on a very light body, certainly also thanks to the use of oats, an acidic note of the right intensity in which they feel light but clear saline notes that remain on the tongue and lips. The fruity taste prevails on the palate as well as light cereal notes that are felt after drinking.
The coconut isn't even reflexively noticeable, suffocated by the explosiveness of the guava, it can only be read on the label.
Pleasant and thirst-quenching beer, among the many made on this mold (fruity goose with lactose), it is less "artificial" in taste than I expected.
The acidic note is neither invasive nor too hidden, with saline notes that add that extra touch. Another positive aspect: The fruity taste conveys a sense of freshness of the product.
