    Does this get distro'd throughout Florida or do I have to drive to Tampa? I'm new to the Florida beer scene, so sorry if this seems like an obvious question.

    If you post on cigar city's Facebook page and tag all your friends they will actually send the beer to your house.

    I'm a Cigar City fanboy but I didn't like this one much. The American Sour Ale was better. But I don't really like saisons so maybe that's why.

    Saison? Guava Grove sour is an american sour, with guava, not a saison. They also did a peach american sour called peach grove.

    Just tried this batch... it's every bit as good as prior ones.

    Well I had one that was in a 750 (still said lacto), obviously an older batch wasn't quite as sour as the 22s that came out around Huna day

    This batch isn't as sour as some of the previous batches but still damn good nonetheless

    So you don't think this Lacto Guava Grove is a sour version of their saison, Guava Grove? I've never had either one, but that's what would make sense to me.

    I think it is, it's called "lacto guava grove" I mean guava grove is IN the name. Also didn't they say it's fermented with lacto, then saison yeast then guava?

    Well I will eat my words as the label does say secondary fermentation is with a saison yeast.
