Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Guava Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head is modest but stable, with fine white foam that clings evenly to the glass as the level drops. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately tropical and fruity, with guava dominating clearly. Beneath the guava lies a soft, slightly tart citrus character with hints of stone fruit. No aggressive hop or fermentation notes intrude; the overall impression is fresh and inviting rather than complex.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and tart, with guava flavour carrying through the mid-palate in a clean, refreshing manner. The acidity is distinct and crisp rather than gentle, providing structure without harshness. Bitterness is minimal at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and acid to drive the palate experience throughout.
