Juicy Machine Guava is a rendition of Juicy Machine conditioned atop literal buckets of fresh guava purée.
Pouring a glowing orange color into your glass, this little robot bursts with notes of creamy guava, orange sorbet, papaya smoothies, and shaved ice topped with guava syrup.
Made with intention and simple ingredients, it has a soft body and an exceptionally creamy finish. Never abrasive or harsh, it is just as enjoyable on the last sip as on the first.

Can (4/28/26) from ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque orange juice yellow, thin head with good retention, nice soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus and very strong guava (go figure!). Taste is strong guava, lesser background orange. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with late bread and mild bitterness. Good strength but neither complex nor balanced.
As an aside, Tree House (not that you're ever going to see this), this is ridiculous that you are going to make a distinction between JuicE Machine - Guava and JuicY Machine - Guava, especially when you use the same goddamn robot -- very confusing to the consumer--deliberate?

16 oz can traded by clarkvv, thank you. Aroma is bold guava and maybe soft orange. Flavor follows with a very mild note of herb. Weak bitterness. I mean, maybe I am missing something here. Or I can’t get this jazzed about an overly guava purée IPA?

Canned 4/28/26, drunk 6/12/26.
Very heavy guava. Still this prominent 45 days after canning, means this must have been unbearable fresh; at least from the perspective of the aroma. Cracker, graham cracker and honey creep in from the malt and there is the typical JM pine and grapefruit to fill in the rest. Very rich, robust, intense, all egged on by the extreme guava.
A weird mix of JM's pine, grapefruit and light floral elements with pretty solid bitterness, yet the juicy-sweet guava as juxtaposition. Despite the soft, ample malt, the beer feels extremely disjointed. Just a blast of pine resin and white grapefruit rind followed by a big, sweet, rich guava character. It should balance better in theory, but it's just too overdone on every characteristic, IMHO. And all that at 45 days and the "lighter" Juicy version. Wow....
