on tap @RBWG-JAX-still-cloudy straw/yellow. A-funky fruit, lt/med malt. T-funky/tart fruit-peach, lt/med malt. Interesting.

Hazy yellowish/gold/orange pour, with a fluffy white head. Aroma of guava, pineapple and a bready note. Very tropical flavor forward, some pineapple, mango, malty, easy drinking. Cool beer and I look forward to the next in the series.

Hazed yellow pour with creamy white head and lace. Aroma of sour banannas and pineapple. Sour fruit with a light bitter finish. A tad thin and fizzy.

Cigar City Guanabana Ale might not sound like a great beer to purest, but it really is just a well-executed ale. Pours cloudy almost like an unfiltered wheat beer with a fruity nose. Taste is malty with a sweet touch and a fruity aftertaste. Guanabana is a tasty ale with a fruit touch.

On draft at Sybarite Pig. Walked in extremely late looking for a night cap and went with this. It wasn’t really sour or tart like I was hoping but it’s an interesting fruit beer none the less, and plus super drinkable.

Draft @ WOB Dadeland. Pours murky brownish yellow color with off white head. Smells like pineapple juice. Tastes like a pale lager mixed with pineapple juice. Not very good, I had a hard time finishing a few ounces. Light to medium body with average carbonation.

Pours a hazy golden yellow on tap with little lacy cap of white film and no real lacing. Aroma is like a baby’s diaper who ate too much mango salsa. Taste is banana, wheat, yeasty esters. Not as good as I was going for, thin and somewhat spicy heartburn feeling.

Draft in a snifter at Sybarite Pig. Pours very light yellow, extremely hazy and thick. Almost looks like it would be a banana smoothie. Aroma was mild with citrus and light yeast. The taste...not for me. Very mild, almost no flavor. It had a papaya flavor that was really lacking any body. I would like it I think if it were a Berliner sour. Sorry CCB, not for me.

On tap at Tap 42. Murky peach fuzz color pour with a white head. I am assuming what I smell is guanabana. A kind of salty fruit highlight with mild citrus and acidity. Easy drinking with a good mouthfeel, body, and carbonation.

Draft at Hunaphu Day. Cloudy golden pour with a soapy white head. Aroma of guava, banana, over ripe pineapple and lactic acid tartness. Slightly milky body with tropical fruitiness and some sourness. Very easy drinking and refreshing.
