Oskar Blues Brewery Guava Rodeo Sour Ale
What the brewers say
“Notes of papaya, passion fruit, and melon.”
What our panel thought
“Strong guava in the flavor despite a weaker show in the nose. The flavor is bright, lightly tart guava with a long tropical tangerine finish. Neither the guava nor the tangerine overpowers. A bit of orange pith in the finish adds complexity.”
What our editors thought
“In the nose, tropical juice—a touch of sulfur and a broad phenolic layer over endearing sweeter fruit notes. In the sip, moderate acidity provides structure, and sweeter fruit notes play against a present malt note.”
