Wonderful beer. Pink guava and crackery grapefruit. Lime. Some mango. Pinkish yellow hazy pour. Tangy finish. Great balance and rich aroma. I'm a sucker for pink guava. Bottle from Dominion.

Gdamn that's a lot of guava, mild funk but more than I expect from the rare barrel, lower acidity too! Real nice one.

Hazy pale. Lots of guava, quite bright. Lots of nice guava note. Nice clean guava and pale malts, and a nice sour note. Solid.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh guava upfront, followed by acidic notes, and some oak. Flavour is quite acidic, with acidic tropical fruits followed by oak and some wild yeast. Rather acidic, with lots of guava on the finish. Solid beer, but not overly complex.
