Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Che Guava

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, fine-grained head that exhibits moderate retention and delicate lacing. The carbonation is lively, with persistent bubbles rising through the crystal-clear body. A visually inviting, effervescent presentation characteristic of the brut lager style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with juicy guava and citrus notes, complemented by subtle champagne-like minerality and a dry, crisp quality. Noble hops—particularly Citra and Mosaic—contribute gentle citrus and floral undertones without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. Pale Malz and buckwheat provide a clean, barely perceptible grainy foundation.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and juicy, with guava and citrus flavors developing immediately across the palate. Mid-palate maintains freshness and dryness, driven by restrained bitterness (6 IBU) and a light body that avoids any cloying sweetness. Magnum, Citra, and Mosaic hops deliver gentle bitterness and citrus notes without dominating the tropical fruit character.
