Imperial Fruited Sour conditioned with Raspberry, Blackberry, and Black Currant. Recently, we've dedicated a significant amount of time and resources to developing big and bold, fruit-forward sour ales. Allowing abnormally high alcohol content to compliment the tart fruit flavors we've all come to appreciate in more modest examples of the style. Until now, such beers have only been available for draft pours at Foam. We are excited to offer the first one in cans.⠀

#1 Hit Jam is both familiar and unique. It combines the flavor and consistency of a berry smoothie with tart lemon and vinous character of red wine. Smells like a cherry Tootsie Pop and tastes of sangria. We hope you enjoy.

We would like to thank our friend Max Hogsdon (Vader the Villian) for once again sharing his incredible talents with us. This label is astounding.

Canned 9/7/22, drunk 9/29/22. Thick mixed berry, fleeting head. Cloudy. Berries, sure, but alcohol, of course. But its not hot/sharp/noxious. Peppery, really. With big berries. Soft malts behind, slightly timid but getting a little bit sweeter on the end. Sweet, raspberry-strong, with bright fruit acids and soft malts. No overt alcohol but it is sangria-like in its higher alcohol and fruit character. I mean, it's not boozey, but you still feel the alcohol. But it still feels pretty interrupted by the alcohol.

4 oz. draft. The berries are bold and have a lingering tartness that never becomes sour. All 3 berries are here. This is 11 %?!? No way, never would have known it. A wonderful sour!

16oz can pours a pulpy purple, little fizz, basically no head. Big jammy nose, blueberry and strawberry, some lemon or orange rind. Flavor is smoothie, berries, strawberry and raspberry. Finishes reasonably thick, but hides 11% real well.
