Strawberry Guava Sour

Yukon Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Fruited Sour · One of 28 Fruited Sours in hopIQ

A fruited sour carrying ripe strawberry and tropical guava. The aroma is bright and jammy, the palate tart and juicy, with a lively acidity holding the fruit in balance instead of letting it turn sweet. Light-bodied and highly carbonated, it finishes clean and vibrant, with the guava lingering longest. Malt and hops stay out of the picture entirely.
