Jiant Guavamente

What the brewers say

“Pink guava goodness gets punched up with some lime tang and brought back down to earth with mint tingle.”

What our panel thought

“Mint profile pushes to the top of the aromatics with low supporting fresh-tea leaves. Guava is significantly subordinate. Acidified peach and plum flavors blend with hints of lime, ginger, and a black-tea bitterness. Poundable, repeatable.”

What our editors thought

“Soft tropical herbal nose, gauzy and smooth, with an artful bokeh. The sip slides in smoothly, understated, with guava and a light herbal freshness for structure. Deliciously simple.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Jiant Planet Pomegranate

“Ginger and lime jump out of the glass, coming across Moscow mule–like. Spicy ginger notes in the flavor, along with hints of lime and green tea–like bitterness, create a brightness and crispness that support the acidity of the pomegranate. Very clean, but has a low funk. Approachable.”

Boochcraft Apple Jasmine

“Orange peel, lemon meringue, lime, apple, and green tea in the nose create a clean, fruity, and inviting aroma. The apple flavors are supported by a cinnamon-like spice and a tart, citric acidity that balances the sweet spice. The package comes across like an autumn-spiced version of the style.”

Sidras Bereziartua Sagardoak Bereziartura

“Great nose: _Brett_-like goaty funk, earthy, leathery with hints of cinnamon. Dry, well-crafted with funky complexity and nice depth.”
