If a shortcut through the woods beats the heat, why not take it? Though non-traditional, Shade’s blackberries and sea salt quench thirst amidst any sunny day. Whatever the summer holds, feel free to kick back and relax, the ‘Tree has you covered.

12 oz. canned 3/17/21
Pours very clear purple red color with a finger of pinkish head.
Aroma is an artificial generic berry smell.
Fortunately the berry flavor is much more subdued than the aroma. Nice tartness. Finishes very dry.
This is pretty good but I can’t see having more than one at a time.

This beer does not get enough love ... A bit light and thin, but quite fragrant and flavorful ... I think for this style it's pretty darn good ... Drink it :-)

Poured into a tall clear pint glass. Ruby-magenta color, clear and deep, finger-thick fluffy light pinkish head with decent retention and lacing.
Berries like blackberries and raspberries are most notable, smells very lactic and sour. Red wine grapes are present too, with other notes of salt and fruit.
Can taste the blackberries in the smell, although when balanced with the wheat the flavor is not so tart or sour, rather tamed. All notes mentioned in the aroma are subdued, along with other notes in the taste: sour apples, melon, gooseberry, lemon and lime, and some grapefruit too. Feeling is medium-light.

Bright Fruit Roll-Up red with a short white fuzzy blanket, I'm getting red wine grapes through the smooth, soft round body with a little buttery note and a light fluffy froth that finishes semi-wet and a little bitter of wild herbs.
