REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy peach colored into a pint glass. White head. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing guava. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Guava from start to finish. Clean, delicious, and refreshing. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Some dry tongue, fairly juicy. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. Ex Novo's Eliot Guava release is overall a success. Glad to have enjoyed this while fresh. I do prefer their regular Eliot IPA at the end of the day, though. 4.25/5
