About This Beer

As the Pacific Northwest emerges from another misty winter slumber, my mind races with thoughts of extra-inning baseball games, salty potato chips, and naps in my hammock.

And, of course, my mouth waters for a can of Urban Family's classic Guava Dawn Sour.

To craft it, Seattle Magazine's ‘Best Seattle Sour Brewery of 2019’ took inspiration from the hues of an Emerald City sunrise and crammed every can of their Fruited Sour with fresh, pink California guava.

The guava's prickly pear and tender strawberry notes play foil to a blend of mixed cultures — bringing an enticingly funky flair to a ballgame or a backyard barbecue full of Sour stans.

With a can of Guava Dawn, you won't have to travel to Puget Sound to experience sour blasts of fruited sunshine.

Urban Family is a Washington Beer Awards medal-winning brewery and one of Hop Culture’s 7 Best Breweries in Seattle.


Tasting Notes

The guava's prickly pear and tender strawberry notes play foil to a blend of Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, and Lactobacillus cultures — bringing an enticingly funky flair to a ballgame or a backyard barbecue full of sour stans.

Guava flavor comes through along with heavy sourness. Sour lingers more than guava. Not as good as Prairie Pink Guava Funk or La Puerta de la Bodega.

This was a tasty sour. Not overly pucker factor, and the pink guava offered a really great smell and added a nice flavor. Give it a good shake and let it rest a bit, a lot of pink guava purée on the bottom of the can

I’ll go ahead and go against the consensus here. This was delicious from start to finish and it actually has the essence of the fruit it promises to deliver

Strong scent of guava. Flavor is present but does not overwhelm. Sharp hints of grapefruit, finishing with notes of sea salt. An ideal summer beer.

This amazing little secret in my monthly box was a pleasurable beer to have with this Texas heat! It was not only a delicious shocker to my palate but I ordered the max limit and since I knew I only had 6 to cherish each one. We have become used to the 16.9oz cans but holding that little 12oz in my hand felt awesome especially knowing it packed a pinch harder than some that I have that come the almost 5 additional ounces!

Husband said it tastes like a wine cooler... I have to agree it has that type of after taste. I smell grapefruit rind before sipping. Taste a mix of sour citrus with guava on the front end and wine cooler after taste on the back end.

I just drank their passion fruit sour earlier this week, and this, disappointingly, is not as good. It's a sour, but there is nothing in the flavor that really stands out. Still, even lacking complexity, this beer is quite refreshing.

Had a very interesting smell, almost hoppy which I was not expecting from a guava sour. Very nice fruit taste, not too strong, not too weak. This was not very sour, at least on my sour scale, but I enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful pour, and the scent was enticing! This had the perfect balance of sweet and tart for a fruited sour, and the guava was the perfect added touch!
