As much as I love the crisp air and crunchy leaves of autumn, I always mourn the end of summer.

Luckily, I have a secret weapon this year: an island vacation-in-a-bottle with today’s Berlinersfield with Pink Guava! It’s so loaded with real tropical fruit, every sip sweeps you away to a sandy beach where you can lounge in the sun and forget about those winter worries.

The brewers at California’s Dionysus ramp up the pucker factor to Cascade and de Garde levels with today’s guava cocktail. Their fruit-forward Berlinersfield series even earns a 4.10 average rating on Untappd!

Even if you’ve sunk your teeth into a seductive pink guava before, this Berlinersfield will blow you away with its funky-tart juice. The brewers combine wild yeast and sour cultures with an astonishing 750 lbs of pink guava to achieve unparalleled tanginess.

The result is an effervescent sipper so intensely flavorful and tart that Sour fans on Untappd have given it an eye-popping 4.26 rating. Here’s what they’re saying:

“If you like your beers to taste like a tropical escape drenched with fruits, this might be your Sour.” - @Derek B.

“This has the most ripe guava flavor that I’ve ever had in a beer.” - @Michelle H.

“Hawaiian vacation in a glass!” - @Josh H.

Enchanting aromas of freshly-cut guava and lemon peel flow by the nose like a gentle island breeze from the bubbly golden pour. Take a sip, and indulge in all of the musky guava notes followed by a tart grapefruit bite on the finish. And at 4.8% ABV, this refresher is light and easy-sipping enough for your next mental getaway to the beach.

So don’t put away your bathing suit and flip flops just yet. With a bottle of this guava delight on hand, you’ve got everything you need to make that summer state of mind last all winter long.
