Strawberry Guava Sour
Central Waters Brewing Co.

 

 

Aroma is guava and mild funk/sweetness/musty. The flavor is guava, strawberries, malts, fruit a hint of vinegar/sweetness and a standard funky/sour yeast finish.

12oz can. Can bottom is stamped 'CANNED ON 04/13/19'.
Slightly cloudy, straw/gold/apricot colored body. Pouring produces a one finger white head, which disappears after a few minutes. No lacing. Small sediment pieces hang in the body.
Aroma is guava, with a little strawberry, and lactic acid sour.
Taste is a little sour from the lactic acid, with flavors of the guava and strawberry. The taste profile ends rather quickly.
Less than medium mouth feel, with a little burn on the tongue. Excellent carbonation.
This is a solid kettle sour with the fruit flavors mixing well. It hits a bit and then is gone. Not a complex nor memorable beer.

 

This one was shared from a friend.

It was very potent on the nose with an emphasis on guava. The flavor was a bit washed out, but still very tasty. Heavy on lactic acid and guava with hints of ripe tart strawberries. I remember it going down very fast, we were done with the can together in about 2 minutes. If I come across it again I'll give it a proper review, but I thought it was a decent and tasty sour.

 

 

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass and some specks of bubbles floating on the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of guava fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has light to moderate flavors of guava with a light amount of sourness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a somewhat tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a pleasant, easy-to-drink sour that does a good job at showcasing the aromas and flavors of guava.

Serving type: can

12oz can, CW goblet glass. Slightly cloudy golden copper body, slight orange hue, one finger white head, good retention and collar, bit of lacing. Smell is mostly kettle soured lemon; the strawberry is subtle but is there. The guava doesn't really seem to show up. Mild bit of lactic acid and lemon. Not much complexity to it on the palate. The guava adds a slight bit of tropical fruit flavour to it, but the strawberry remains very subtle and serves mainly to round out the lemon and lactic acidity of the underlying kettle sour. Lighter medium bodied. Fairly mild beer. Couldn't really recommend it in particular.
