Berry Shaman

Tap to rate

A lemonade-inspired sour ale: waves of ripe berry flavor meet a citrus tartness. It is brewed with strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, lemon and berry tea, and sits in the Shaman Series, Grist House's run of fruited sours. A 5.0% ABV sour made for sunny days and patio hangs.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a surge of mixed berry character—strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry—layered against a zesty, mouth-puckering tartness and subtle lemon brightness. The sourness and fruit are perfectly balanced, neither dominating, with minimal bitterness and a light, dry body that keeps the beer crisp and sessionable throughout.
