Can best before Aug 7, 2026, drunk Mar 11, 2026.
Wow! Real guava puree?? Hell yeah. Really juicy, fruity, tropical, with good amount of sugar and acid. Some estery yeast and light malt sugars there, as well. Zero sign of any of the typical NA problems (wort, cardboard, diacetyl, artificial notes, complete lack of beer character, etc...).
Juicy, fruity, tart and beer-like with some lactic character on the very back end, to supplement the natural acidity of the delicious, authentic guava. Chewy-to-crusty wheat helps bolster the texture, somewhat, but it is just a touch lighter than it should be, for optimal drinking. Acid becomes just a bit too sharp here and there on account of the lack of any malt sweetness. But other than that one flaw, this is superb in flavor and aroma.

Can. Poured a pretty cloudy pinkish-red/orange color, perhaps peach color? Aroma was big guava, tropical fruit, light grain. Flavor was light, perhaps a bit thin. Aroma was great, really smells like a guava-heavy gose. Flavor gets as close as it can, light tartness, really pleasant.

355ml can. Pours a cloudy orange pink with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, guava and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, guava, lemon, floral hops and a hint of salt in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy and refreshing. You would never know this was NA. Excellent for the style.
