On tap at House of Beer...pours hazy, light brown with an orange tint. Generous off-white head that provides some streaky lacing...Nose of sour citrus, funky yeast, peaches, and apricots. The flavors are well balanced mix of sour fruits, cellar funk, and sweet malts. Very dry, moderate carbonation, and a puckering, tart finish. Very nice brew...

mikedR (360) - Gilbert, Arizona, USA - MAY 16, 2013
Tropical saison; very nice! Strong Belgian spices and tropical fruits wafting from an off-white topped dirty and cloudy orange pour. Spices are abundant in taste, as is a good amount of sweetness (guava?). Although well carbonated, a hefty mouthfeel. Spiciness continues to dance on your tongue even when there’s nothing there. This is good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

M82 (86) - Kansas, USA - MAY 16, 2013
On tap at Peg’s while vacationing in Tampa late summer 2012; excited to see this one roll in just before leaving, common farmhouse appearance, not overtly fruity like some in the style or overly spicy like some farmhouse ales, guava plays a unique smoothing role, creating a silky, highly quaffable, fruity experience with enough complexity to keep me interested

maxwelldeux (2220) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a huge off-white head. Nose has a lot of guava elements with some of the Belgian yeastiness in there as well. Taste is a little sweet and slightly funky. OK, but not my favorite.
