A nice tart aroma, citrucy hops, with some fresh cut grass. Slightly peppery malts, some herbs, with anice tart, green, i even think guava finish. There is a big greeness about this beer. Great stuff. Super sessionable.

Draft - Guava and some acidic passion fruit like notes. Pale hazy yellow with a rich white head. Tons of guava, sweet and just a touch of tartness. Tastes really nice, but maybe more juice than beer.

(Draught at Barhop, Aug 1 2013) Poured a pale, fairly hazy yellow with a decent-sized head of white bubbles, a lot of lace. Aroma has guava as expected, grassy notes, pale malt, light hop bitterness. Flavour is a good blend of guava with saison yeast characters, slightly sweet, slightly bitter with a bit of tart/sour fruit and saison yeast in the finish. Body fairly light and smooth, moderate carbonation. This was not as guava-forward as it could have been, and I feel that was a good thing - it’s well-integrated with the saison features of the beer and the package is interesting, refreshing, quite drinkable outside on a warm summer day.

Actually works pretty well together, the guava and saison here. The guava is laid out with enough subtlety that it doesn’t overpower the rest. It actually interacts well with the hops and yeast. Other than guava, aroma has malt and some bitter hay. Tastes like the pear-like guava rather than the pink or strawberry guavas. Finishes with light sourness. Good. Tap at Barhop.
