my dad got this multipack of weird ass beers and earlier I had an IPA from the pack that was alright (although I'm not usually a fan of IPAs), and so I grabbed another can of the same color except this one turned out to be "pink guava gose". this shit is fuckin whack, I'm trying to keep an open mind but this beer isn't just bitter, its fucking sour. this shit tastes like you poked a hole in a grapefruit and filled it with miller high life, then let it rot in a field for a few weeks. forcing myself to drink all of it in case its an acquired taste but my stomach feels like it might stage a mutiny at any moment and I'm only halfway through.

if you have never ventured much or tried sour beer which seems to be the case, i think guava is probably not the best starting point. i would recommend grabbing something like dogfish head seaquencher to give it a more fair shot. that one is sort of gose-like in construction, but the lime flavor makes the sourness much less surprising to the palate. sour beers tend to be sour because of the wild yeasts used to ferment them. the most wildly sour kind is something like the farmhouse style sours jolly pumpkin makes that don't have any fruit added.
