Slightly tart wheat ale fermented with guava. Aromas of tropical fruits are balanced by a touch of acidity, resulting in a crisp crushable beer. Guava king pours hazy blonde with a firm white head

Pale golden color, white head with short retention. Aroma is slightly malty, light wheaty notes. Flavor is slightly sweet, hints of wheat and some citrusy. Light body, fruity final.

Can, freshly purchased from the cooler, drunk 7/6/17.
Surprisingly clear, marigold-peach-brass with an off-white, beige-flecked head that recedes quickly to cover/ring. Nose shows plentiful black pepper phenols, raw wheat and light cereal with a moderate dose of honey-like maltiness. Guava is noted, though it’s certainly tastefully done. Bit of sulfur and/or various farmhouse-lite qualities obviously emanating from the yeast. Ends lemony with more pepper and biscuit lingering. No alcohol or flaw.
Shockingly dry with slightly fizzy carbonation and a very light body. Cracked wheat, dry grains and a bit of cereal create most of the flavor as light lemon-like acidity perks up on the finish which displays a completely attenuated guava character. Thought this was going to be a hoppy, fruited NE-style pale ale. Nope. Then thought it was going to be a big, fruity, guava bomb. Nope. Just an American wheat, really, with passion fruit suggestions. Which is totally fine. I wonder if a lot of the passion fruit character fermented out between canning and drinking? Would be curious to try it fresh on tap.

16oz can. Hazy unfiltered yellow-tan body. Thin white head. Pleasant, easy drinking. The guava is mild, and really doesn’t knock your socks off, but it is easy drinking and refreshing. Better than a lot of new school fruit beers out there, but still one of them. OK.

Pour is a cloudy, chalky blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a definite lactic acid with some minor fruitiness. Flavor is a whole lot sweeter then I thought it was going to be. I guess that’s the guava. There is also a minor tart tang to the beer with an overall wheat malt base. This was just ok. I expected this to be a bit more tart from the aroma but I got a lot of sweetness instead.
