Guavatas Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent quality in the glass. A delicate white head forms with modest retention, leaving fine tracery along the walls. The carbonation is lively and persistent, befitting a well-conditioned sour ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe pink guava and stone fruit, backed by subtle citrus notes that emerge on further inspection. A gentle tartness permeates the aroma, with no aggressive vinegar character—just the pleasant tang of lactobacillus fermentation. The overall impression is inviting and tropical, with minimal malt presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and tart, with guava puree providing immediate fruit character and natural sweetness. Mid-palate maintains the sour bite without becoming harsh, layering citrus (particularly grapefruit and lime) alongside the guava foundation. The low residual sugar and restrained bitterness keep the beer light and refreshing rather than cloying, allowing the fruit and acidity to dominate throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and snappy, with citrus notes lingering pleasantly on the palate. Tartness persists without astringency, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste that invites the next sip.
