Guava Happens is a blend of golden sour beers aged in oak barrels with pink guavas. Fermented with an adventurous blend of yeast and bacteria, this fruited sour cruises the open road through the tropics. The scent of fresh guava wafts in the sea breeze and mingles with notes of ripe mangoes, papaya, and pink lemonade. Tart and easy-drinking, this sour is meant for you to enjoy the ride and embrace guava happens.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a hazy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has funky and tart guava with a bit of oak supporting. Flavor has a great guava note with some funk and some oak underlying.
