About this beer

Shades Brewing’s First Crush is a 6.5% ABV Cranberry Lime Sour Ale brewed with actual cranberries, lime, and lactose. The resulting flavor profile is tart and refreshing, a prominent lime zestiness cutting through the sweetness imparted by the lactose and a noticeable, yet balanced, cranberry character. It’s described on the label as “dangerously drinkable,” advising to enjoy during the warmer months.

The can itself features striking artwork, a vibrant jungle scene with a tiger lurking amongst lush, green foliage. Bold, white lettering declares the beer’s name, “Shades,” and “First Crush” is displayed beneath in a smaller, contrasting font. The label emphasizes independent craft brewing and includes recycling instructions.
