We love guava, a lot. We love sours too. And guess what, they’re even better together! That’s why we brewed this beer with a ton of top-quality guava.

The natural floral notes of guava pair perfectly with the refreshing, clean tartness of this beer, creating a complex bouquet of fruit flavors and aromas.

Delightfully tangy, Guava Fresca delivers a balanced interpretation of the fruited sour style, with acidity, fruit, and malt all contributing equally.

In choosing the fermentables for this beer, we wanted to make sure that the guava flavors and aroma would stay front and center. That’s why we turned to pale rice malt, an extremely light-colored malt that offers some residual sweetness and body but that works best as a supporting player.

For the same reason, we also kept the hops to a minimum, using only a tiny dose of noble hops to balance out the other flavors. The end result is a beer that is multidimensional, refreshing, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
