Shapeshifter Brewing Sunshowers

California pales might be heavily hopped but unlike their East Coast counterparts, they bring with them a lighter and breezier side that - and this may just be personal preference - makes them a wonderful beer for a long and hot afternoon. Shapeshifter’s Sunshowers is such a beer, with the Cali pale balancing plenty of hops with a lean, crisp and lighter touch.

Those hops come in the all-American lineup of Citra, Talus, Cashmere and Sequoia which almost guarantee you'll be greeted by plenty of fruit flavours. And indeed you are, with Sunshowers bringing a lush mix of peach, pine, grapefruit and rockmelon before a decent bitterness and that aforementioned lean side follows through on the finish.
