Cigar City Brewing Lactobacillus Guava Grove

Cigar City Brewing Lactobacillus Guava Grove is an American Wild Ale. This beer has been through many incarnations over the past few years. I’ve had the Saison version (the one that wasn’t infected) with Lee before and we both really enjoyed it. The latest is pretty much a straight sour, and is pretty much incredible. The aroma isn’t really all that spectacular, all I’m getting is a light sourness. The taste starts with a bit of lacto sourness before the fruit comes in. Lightly tart and sweet, the guava really comes through without being overpowered by the lacto yeast. A return to some pure sourness is complimented by a bit of yeast flavor on the finish. It’s hard to find a problem with this, I’m very glad I picked up a bottle at the brewery.
