Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark burnt orange to copper color with a thin white semi-foamy to fizzy head which quickly died off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: semi-sweet to tart guava - slightly fleshy; then sly grassy hop spiciness with a touch of Belgian yeastiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly sweet yet spicy and a touch of tart & sour aspects as well; light aftertaste of the guava
Texture: light to medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; not exactly smooth along the tongue - enough tart/sour harshness; finishes with the guava tart to sour to subtly sweet character
Overall: fairly nice guava sour ale, I believe I could come back to.

A4 draught, 7/10/23. Moderately hazy, ruby-cardmel. Large, off-white head, good retention. Round lactic acid, light, sweet, fruity, acetic acid, juicy, sweet, pink guava. Hardly can tell it's a sour but for the light lactic acidity and gentle balsamic. Malty, juicy with cherry, strawberry, light guava and even some rustic graininess. I like that it starts out sweet but end quite dry. No punchy lactic acid, only moderate, mellow acidity. Very light guava character. Clean, well-fone, dry and flavorful with plentiful malt.

Lime, kombucha nose. Clear amber, medium head, little retention, some lacing. Cumquat, lemon, crabapple. Hints of biscuit. Medium body, easy carbonation. Definitely tart, but beery goodness peeks through.
