This vibrant gluten-free Specialty IPA presents an explosion of tropical fruit, driven by the inclusion of real guava and a supporting touch of mango. The aromatic profile is dominated by the pungency of American hops, blending seamlessly with the stone fruit and tropical nectar notes of the added fruit. Despite being brewed with alternative grains, the beer maintains a remarkably creamy texture and a juicy, approachable character. It balances the bright, sweet-leaning flavors of the guava against a structured hop bitterness, finishing with a lingering fruit-forward freshness that belies its Alternative Grain Beer construction.
Appearance.SRM 5-7. Pours a hazy, pale gold to light orange with a dense, persistent white head and significant lacing. Slight opacity from fruit additions and alternative grain proteins.
Aroma.High intensity. Immediate and powerful aroma of fresh pink guava and ripe mango. These fruit notes are complemented by American hops displaying passion fruit and citrus characteristics. Malt presence is low, providing a neutral, slightly bready background from the alternative grains. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial impression is a juicy wave of guava and tropical fruit nectar. Mango adds a rounded sweetness that supports the hop profile. Moderate American hop bitterness provides a necessary backbone, balancing the perceived sweetness of the fruit without becoming harsh. The finish is clean and medium-dry, with lingering notes of tropical fruit and a subtle, cracker-like malt character from the gluten-free base grains.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a noticeably creamy and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, creating a lively but soft mouthfeel. Very low alcohol warmth. No grain-derived astringency despite the alternative fermentables.
