Sunshower is our Super Saison, a high-gravity farmhouse ale inspired by the ethereal refreshing mid-summer moments when we experience both rainfall and the heat of the sun in New England. Similar to our flagship Trillium, the mouthfeel is light and effervescent with a bright, golden hue. We allow the fermentation temperature to free-rise, resulting in a dry beer with strength and complexity. Layers of pepper and earthy characteristics that play nice with the crisp, smooth backbone of a pilsner and wheat malt bill.

Bottle with big thanks to Mike Morse, split on Zwanze Day ’14, 20/09/14. Lightly hazed golden with a well appointed off white covering that stays for the show. Nose carries a good dose of pleasant citric rinds, amngo, light pine, tangerine, straw, touch of apricot. Taste comprises mango, mandarin, pine jacket, juicy hop tang, light spice, yuzu, bitter orange. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Super solid beer but not especially true to style, the hops and pine take over a little.

Growler from the brewery - Boston. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Lots of hops in the nose, some grapefruit and piss, a bit of Belgian yeast, dry dough. Medium to big sweet flavor, loads of pissy hops, melon, grapefruit, mellow yeast, dry white bread. Medium to full bodied with fine, caressing carbonation. Pretty crisp and clean on the finish - impressively so for the ABV - with more dank citrus, urine, lots of pineapple, melon, a bit of yeast. Delicious and highly drinkable for its strength.
