Cigar City Don Gavino’s Big Guava
From Cigar City Brewing – We salute Don Gavino with this tart guava ale, aged in chardonnay barrels to create a balance between the sweetness of the base beer and fruit with the tartness of the lactic fermentation.
Cigar City Brewing – Cigar City Don Gavino’s Big Guava – 750 ml. bottle poured into a goblet. abv. unknown.
Appearance: Pours honey gold with a thin dense white film.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Light guava , dank weed, wine barrel, grass.
Taste: Big Brett/ white wine. Industrial, pineapple brett. Pale dry malt. I didn’t find the base beer to be all that sweet, as mentioned in the product description. Gonna guess 7% ish on the abv.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied ,average carbonation.
Overall: Tart, refreshing, complex, aromatic. Reminded me of my early experiences with Nebrasa Brewing’s barrel aged farm house beers, which is a compliment.
