Pour is a hazy bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a decent amount of guava and some sour lime juice. Flavor is again a big time guava and a little white sugar sweetness. Not as sour or tart as I thought it was going to be. Pretty good, this could almost be considered a fruit beer with the amount of guava coming out.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 9/2019. Pours fairly hazy medium golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of biscuit, banana, bubblegum, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pink guava, fruity/spicy/fairly acidic yeast, pale/wheat malts, and solid earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of biscuit, banana, bubblegum, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate yeast spiciness; herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and fruit/wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light banana/bubblegum/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pink guava, fruity/spicy/fairly acidic yeast, pale/wheat malts, and solid earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitter/spiciness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spicy/tart/tangy notes. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/grainy, and fairly crisp/acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome fruited sour saison. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pink guava, fruity/spicy/fairly acidic yeast, pale/wheat malts, and solid earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy/tart/tangy/drying finish. Great soft feel, and mildly lactic. Awesome balance of big juicy fruit, Saison yeast, and Lacto complexity; with a great balanced pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Light residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example as expected. Not overwhelming on any aspect.

Sample at Daily Growler UA. This beer is a cloudy yellow color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Tropical fruit, grassy hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of guava, herbal yeast and doughy malt. The finish is fruity with a guava and citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.
