Style Context
As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Fruit Beer calls for fruit aroma from subtle to intense that is not overpowered by hops, bitterness from 5 to 70 IBU in balance with the fruit, and 2.5 to 12 percent ABV. The newly verified strength and bitterness fall within those category ranges.

Research Notes
- The brewery website returned 403 to automated reads, so its beer list could not be checked.
- Web searches for the beer name with the brewery, Untappd and the 2026 GABF found nothing; press coverage of the brewery (Westword, El Restaurante) names other beers such as its Mexican Lager and Ava's Passion Fruit Wheat but not Agua Fresca, and the Westword page itself returned 403.
- The only beer named Agua Fresca found in search was a hard seltzer from an unrelated Los Angeles company.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: an exact-phrase web search for the beer with the brewery found only the same restaurant and brewery coverage plus unrelated Agua Fresca products (Left Hand Brewer's Test Kitchen #10, Calidad seltzer); a Telluride Blues brewery listing returned 404; the web search limit ran out before an Untappd search, so nothing more was found.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd listing publishes 5% ABV and 21 IBU. Hop varieties were not named; a targeted brewery domain search found no beer page.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's beer site ldpbeer.com returned HTTP 403 to every reader, and a web search found no description or recipe for Agua Fresca.
- Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 4 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
- Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (press search, GABF winners list surfaced): found nothing new; 4 pages tried. Nothing recorded. A search summary attributes a prickly pear and lime recipe to an Untappd listing, which is a barred source, so it was not used or verified; Westword returned 403 and El Restaurante has no Agua Fresca detail.
