Sisyphus Neverlasting Gobstopper with Key Lime and Guava

Sisyphus Neverlasting Gobstopper with Key Lime and Guava.
3% ABV. 20 IBU.
Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Lightly hazed, pale yellow/green color, slim head.

In the nose: Tart, fruity, key lime in charge.

In the mouth: Bracingly sour at the start, big puckering, with key lime screaming out of the gate. Washes down nice and easy, with a little salt at the end, finishing nice and dry. Light bodied, easy drinking. Guava lurks far behind the key lime flavor, but it's there. If this were "only" key lime, it might be too much lime for my taste.


Good sour ale, though, if you like 'em limey and salty.

Inspiration for beers and beer names can come from all sorts of places. In this case, our sour beer "Neverlasting Gobstopper", comes from one of my favorite movies from my childhood, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Everyday I come to work and brew beer I feel like Willy Wonka, but just because of the messed up things we do to people on our tours. Infused with Key Lime and Guava.
