Lollipop Hydra
Deciduous Brewing Company

Can from Deciduous
Pours hazy pink and brown mud with bubbles like you've poured milk on top of carbonated soda little to no head. Huge strawberry and coconut sunscreen nose. Fruity lightly tart. Ugly pour, but pretty tasty brew.

This is a collab with Mortalis Brewing - billed as a "fruited pound cake". Gotta admit this matches the description well!

It pours an opaque, thick strawberry yoghurt smoothie texture with a one finger head that settles in time to a film with off-gassing lactose bubbles. A true thing of beauty.

The aroma is true to the description - strawberry, lemon and coconut (in that order) mixed with a not too strong vanilla pound cake. I am amazed at this point.

The flavor is just out of this world delicious, with a tangy, slightly tart strawberry lemon flavor up front. This stays strong into the finish where the coconut notes start kicking in. Not sure if this has vanilla or cuz it is more subtle and more in the finish. Could be the lactose rounding out the fantastic fruit flavors.

The feel is ultra soft and creamy. Literally this is like drinking a yoghurt smoothy it is that think and creamy soft.

So fruited sours - and smoothie IPAs - are not my thing for the most part, but this is absolutely amazing. I took a chance with picking up a 4 pack at the brewery but quickly ordered 2 more packs online after just a few sips. It is that good. For the style this is the rare 5 star in my book,exceeding all expectations. Nothing to knock at all.

The smell hits you and takes you to the place you want to be. Sweet yet crisp. The feeling is thick and sparkly on you tongue. That sour feeling and taste you get when biting a just about to be ripped fruit. It’s a 5 out of 5. Worth every penny and makes you want to savor every sip.
