Deviating from conventional brewing methods and inspired by historic brewing techniques, we created our Pure Guava Petite Sour. Blending farmhouse brewing traditions with an old world souring technique this rustic wheat beer is brewed with the addition of oats and spiced with coriander and sumac. Fermented entirely in our distinct oak feeder, Pure Guava is an unfiltered, golden wild ale with tropical fruit aromas and bright citrus flavors created by a proprietary Brettanomyces strain. This beer is bottled with the natural yeast, if cellared in a cool dark place it will develop more complex Brett characteristics and evolve for years to come. Drink as you would a wheat beer, cloudy with the yeast in suspension. Please enjoy this unique offering in your favorite stemmed glassware and allow the beer to breathe and open up as you swirl it in your glass. Thoroughly chill and open carefully, slowly degassing the excess CO2 built up from the active yeast.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 6
odd brew. i loved guava grove from cigar city, but this is NOT that beer's equal. the strength is the guava in the flavor. very nice. but overall this beer had too many issues to overlook. 1st off, it was a gusher. what beav described as vomit notes in the aroma i'll call guava diaper. not a very pleasing (though not alltogether offensive) aroma for a sour lover. feel is a little too prickly due to the overcarbonation, but not too bad. flavor is nice. subtle sour and tart lemon, sweet fruit. still kinda weird, but if it smelled like it tastes, i'd have liked it. as it is, can't get past the smell. it was "interesting" enough to make me curious about their other brews, though.

750ml bottle, batch 8/11, bottle 1278/1765. The bottle is a big gusher. It pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a big fizzy white head that retains fairly well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is overripe fruit, baby vomit and blue cheese.
The flavor is sweet tropical fruits and some brett with a dry champagne finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a lot of sharp carbonation.
Overall, an interesting beer. It's getting better each time I try it. The first time it was very young and there were overbearing vomit notes in the nose and taste. Now, it tastes good, but there's still some vomit in the nose (but much less).
