SHADOW FACTORY is a standard offering with rotating fruits. The base is 100% wheat, fermented with unisolated coolship-caught microbes. It is light and only slightly tart on its own. SHADOW FACTORY was designed for heavy fruit additions - everything from Boysenberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Cranberry, Mango, Rhubarb, and Passionfruit. Nearly all of the sourness comes only from the fruit, so acidity will range from mid to high. This version is barrel fruited.

Deep red pour in the glass and a fine pink head Nice curtain down the sides of the glass also Pleasant fruity aroma. Good intensity Balanced fine acidity and an ok carbonation level Easy to drink. Also a dry ending Very red berry fruity flavor [On tap at BD57 (BrewDog) in Oslo, Norway]

16 oz can from Tavour, 5/1/20. Dark pinkish-red color, beige head. Big tart fruit, lots of berry sweetness, but the tartness overpowers. Tingly feel. Tasty. 8/4/7/3/15

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish ruby, plum color with a finger of pink foam that dissipates. Very tart nose with sharp acidity, boysenberry and light tart cranberry notes with sour wheat mash aromas. Tart on the palate with a young berry-like acidity. More berry notes on the finish with lingering cranberry skin and seed notes. Quite tart but enjoyable.
