Abstrax Skyfarm Guava Flavour

Description

Abstrax Skyfarm Guava is a natural terpene-based flavour extract that delivers authentic tropical guava character to beer, cider, seltzer, and mead — without the mess, contamination risk, or refermentation problems of traditional fruit purees. A 5ml bottle provides enough extract for a standard 23L batch, adding the distinctive musky-sweet tropical aroma and flavour of ripe guava through isolated terpenes from the fruit itself. It contains no fermentable sugars, adds no haze-forming compounds, and has been heat treated and sterile filtered for safety. Includes a free 3ml pipette for precise measurement. In stock at Yeast Platform, shipped from our Australian warehouse.

Flavour Profile

Guava’s aroma is one of the most distinctive in the tropical fruit family — musky and floral with sweet berry undertones and a slightly tart, tropical finish. In brewing, guava character works particularly well in NEIPAs and hazy pale ales where it reads as an amplification of the tropical notes already contributed by Australian and New Zealand hops. At lower doses in a hop-forward NEIPA, Abstrax Skyfarm Guava rounds out and deepens the tropical character delivered by Galaxy or Nectaron dry hopping. At full dose in a dedicated fruit beer or cider it becomes the primary fruit note, delivering a profile closer to tropical fruit punch than to a straightforward fruit-forward beer.

When and How to Add It

Abstrax Skyfarm Guava is fully soluble and integrates evenly without extended contact time or special equipment. Add at primary fermentation (after high krausen) for a softer, integrated guava character that weaves into the beer’s yeast and malt profile; add at secondary or conditioning for a more pronounced, distinct tropical note; add at packaging for maximum guava aroma impact in the finished product. The packaging-stage approach is particularly recommended for hard seltzers, fruit ciders, and hop-forward hazy IPAs where you want the guava character to read alongside the dry hop aroma rather than underneath it. Dose with the included pipette; no mixing equipment needed.

Tropical Fruit Extracts for Australian Home Brewers

Guava in fresh or puree form is inconsistently available in Australian supermarkets and can be difficult to source in volumes suitable for a 23L batch. Fresh guava also introduces wild yeast contamination risk and fermentation variability. Abstrax Skyfarm Guava removes both barriers: sterile, shelf-stable, and dosed precisely by the millilitre, it gives Australian home brewers reliable access to guava character year-round regardless of seasonal fruit availability. It pairs especially naturally with the Galaxy and Nectaron hop extracts that are already popular in the Australian craft brewing scene — combined, they produce a tropical depth that’s characteristic of the best modern Australian and New Zealand-influenced NEIPAs.
