2nd Shift Brewing Pink Guava Bridget

What the brewers say

"Foeder-aged Brett beer refermented on pink guava puree."

What our panel thought

"Hazy, with wonderful foam retention. Subdued, sweet peach-candy aroma. Mild, well-balanced acidity, mostly to the lactic side with little complexity; strong citrus/guava flavor. Lemony wheat carries into the aftertaste. Finishes clean. Solid, easy drinking."

What our editors thought

"Unrepentent, unrelenting, juicy tropical guava flat-out owns the nose and flows through the sip. This agua fresca sour trades beer character for intense fruit, but the guava is compelling, making for a Brett beer that the masses could drink without thinking twice."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Perennial Artisan Ales Stepping into Tomorrow

Peppery aroma with woody, earthy, leathery _Brett_ evident in the background; low, spicy hops. Funk-forward flavor, with notes of wood, mushroom, light fruit, white pepper, and cardamom. Lingering tartness. Big but balanced. Well-made but lacking in complexity.

Funk Factory Geuzeria Foeder Saison: Vintage Hallertau

Fascinating aroma: juicy white grape, drier red wine, phenolic spice, cellar-floor funk. Flavor joins light bread and stone fruit with funk and spice. Moderate acidity draws the juicy impression over light, dusty bitterness. Dry, delicate, funky, complex—a wallflower with a lot to say.

Epic Brewing Sour Brainless on Pink Guava

Aroma: “Guava bomb with a hint of funk at the end of the fruit aroma. Lemony tartness. Really distinctive and interesting. No hops aroma detected. Low toasted malt. Bready.” Flavor: “Guava is again very prominent, but not overly sweet, adding a bright tropical-fruit character on top of a pleasantly tart beer. Finish has a slight sour bite that essentially serves as the bitter character to balance the fruitiness up front. Very refreshing and lively on the tongue.” Overall: “Tropical-smoothie, guava-bomb beer. Bright and crisp with a clarity of flavor that delivers exactly as one would expect.”
