Our house IPA. A juicy, double dry-hopped beer brewed with guava puree for full flavor and complexity. Hop-bursted with Mosaic, Centennial, and Citra, this balanced pint has a fresh taste and a classic, slightly bitter finish.

Passion fruit and grapefruit. Orange peel. Murky orange pour with pretty soapy head. A bit explosive on opening--may be a bit of hop creep here. Hop tang finish. I get zero guava, and can doesnt say guava.

Can from the Drop, the beer store next to Eavesdrop: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is mellow tropical fruitiness and a distinct light maltiness. Clean and fruity without being too sweet. Fairly dry and not very bitter.

SUper crisp and clear amber, copper and pure orange coloured body with some nice effervescence and a thin layer of just off-white head on top, not even a single centimetre tall! Aroma of grass, bright caster sugar, yeast, bananas, curacao, coriander seed and some very mild tropical fruit notes and fructose. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Very crisp, dry malts show at first with a slightly grassy and very perfumey hop characteristic that shows a light astringency and subdued bitterness with a kick of soft fruits and sugars at the tail end with a very crisp, almost saison-like finish with the coriander seed, wheat, yeast and especially banana and curacao notes showing through everything. Aftertaste is very robust and perhaps less like an IPA and way more like a dry saison, but effective, regardless. Overall, a nice beer with some very mild hops, not much of which are bitter, but a proper balance, dryness and deep complexities make this worth trying to find and sample fresh, like I did! Nice to try from South Carolina, as this is the first I've seen from the brewery! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-August-2020 for US$3,23 sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-September-2020.

Not much here. Subdued hops offer hints of earth, berry, and stone fruit, while the guava puree barely even factors into the equation, adding kind of a slurry-like appearance but not imparting much tropical juiciness. Mineral bitterness needs more malt and/or fresh hop notes for balance. Grows astringent as it warms. Pass.

Can a few week's old from Craft Brewed. Pours a murky, deep gold to copper with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Light tropical fruit notes with dough, yeast and tea-like aromas. Creamy on the palate with very low carbonation. More tea as it warms. A sweet, raw dough note permeates throughout. Sweet with almost no bitterness. Not a fan of this version.
