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.
There is a whole heap of beers that do so well, drinking in quiet solitude. These are beers that you savor, you contemplate. MadTree Shade is not one of those beers. Shade is mean to be enjoyed with friends. Crank up a stereo next to a cool swimming pool on a hot Cincinnati summer afternoon, and drink this beer.
When you pour this into your glass you immediately are struck by the light purple-pink color and slight haze of it. The small wispy light head dissipates quickly into a drifting aroma of slight sweetness. The beer itself is not over the top… gently tasting of slight tart blackberries and the saltiness of the Gose style coming through wonderfully in the finish of the beer.
