Millennial Mansion
Prairie Artisan Ales

Poured can into shaker pint. Thick slurry of berry purple. Brief light pink head that quickly disappates. No lace.

Nose is blueberry with a hint of creamy sweet marshmellow.

Taste follows with berry and lemon sour, a masked but still present fruit peel bitterness.

Mouth is thick and a little chewy. A light tartness and not dry at all.

Prairie is a favorite from the home state and this is a great, thick lil sour glass of juice.

 

On tap in a 10 ounce Pilsner glass.

Cherry red color with a barely there thin film cap. Abundant carbonation.

Creamy fruit blend aroma, Cherries, blueberries, citrus, loads of marshmallow.

Tart fruit flavors mixed with the marshmallow cream; lemon-lime, cherry, blueberry muffin.

Very smooth, creamy and syrupy. Tart and dry.

Nice mix. The flavors and smoothness hide the 7.7 % abv.

 

From notes, I didn't have it recently

Look: dark red with a thick slightly pink head. The label has bande dessinée style art work featuring a mansion with 20 rooms filled with people and animals doing stuff. Cool artwork and nice beer.

Aroma: citrus, berries, marshmallow

Flavor: The flavor is according to the label Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Lime, Blueberry, Cherry, and marshmallow. I am picking up some orange and lemon and blueberry, peel I'm not sure about, and a vanilla kind of milky flavor, yes I guess marshmallow. It is not too tart, and it's very fruity.

Body/Overall: medium body

Prairie Millennial Mansion Fruited Sour, 7.7% ABV. Pours clear ruby red with a finger of off-white head that left no lacing. Nose is cherry, blueberry, citrus, and marshmallow. Taste is predominantly lemon/lime, but some cherry hiding behind them, slightly sweet, moderately tart. Thin mouthfeel and a bit undercarbonated. Overall excellent.

 

 

 

12oz can poured into a snifter; no canning date that I can see.

A: Clear dark red bordering on purple.

S: Pastry-like nutty sweetness and berry character, with a nice dose of lemon and citrus peel as well as distinct marshmallow.

T: More tart on the palate, solid lemon sourness mixed with sweet vanilla dessert character, bordering on a lactose sweetness. Blueberry and cherry tartness on the finish with a twang of lacto/sour bacteria. Light citrus character/peel throughout, even some notes of graham cracker. The berry notes come across pretty jammy.

MF: Medium-bodied with a dry-ish finish.

O: The adjuncts in this brew really come through and shine; I really liked the more sweet and decadent richness of the nose, and the palate kinda swings more tart, which is expected in a sour like this. All together, it works well.

Aroma is berries and slightly nutty/marshmallows. The flavor is berries, a hint of coconut, marshmallows, malts, mild orange/fruit and a tart/sweet finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poor head retention is the only thing keeping the appearance from outstanding. Blueberry and cherry dominate the appearance, with a strong bluish-purple hue.

Nose is fruity but fairly indistinct.

Very tasty on the palate, but the marshmallow is stronger than the fruit, especially on the back third. For all the added fruit, they all fail to make much of an impression. It’s more like alcoholic fruit punch.
