New Brew Thursday: 'Mood Shift' from Buttonwoods Brewery

You can read more about the origins of "New Brew Thursday" HERE but we are going to jump right into today's beer. Over the weekend I saw that Buttonwoods had a new sour and that it was going fast so I knew I had to try it.

'Mood Shift' is a mixed media sour from Buttonwoods Brewery, which is one of my favorite Rhode Island Breweries. It pours bright purple into the glass with a nice pinkish head. There are distinct notes of blueberry and vanilla with a small hint of graham cracker and it is DANGEROUSLY crushable at 6.8%. There is a prominent flavor of blueberry with a second wave of vanilla and a subtle hint of cinnamon that stacks up with each sip. While not overly sour it does have a lingering tartness that stays in the front of your mouth. 

Overall 'Mood Shift' is a fantastic beer and perfect for those hot summer days, just make sure you keep an eye on it as everyone is trying to get their hands (or paws) on it.
