Pours hazy straw, quickly fading head.Nose shows heavy guava, passionfruit, wheat, soft bready doughy notes.Flavours include guava, cardboard, a fair acidity, banana, and doughy wheat notes.

I'm drinking this the day after the watermelon smash and I reckon the guava is a better match for a gose than the watermelon. It's a really smooth finish, and quite refreshing. However the guava is very mooted in comparison to the watermelon, but that does at least give the salt and funky yeast flavours a chance to shine. The palate is also a lot thicker than the watermelon, and it lingers deep into the throat. As I said with the watermelon beer, it's not very sour, so lovers of sours won't be into it. It's more of a very pleasant, slightly sour Summer ale.
