Mallow
Modist Brewing Co.

Pours a very light colored yellow with a foamy mcfoamtop two fingers deep. Aroma is sweet, vanilla and marshmallow. Taste is light, smooth, sweet and very marshmallow, with a thin vanilla in the aftertaste. An unusual brew and quite refreshing.

 

 

 

Pours a smooth looking pale yellow. A lot of transparency. A finger of white head forms and sticks around for quite some time.

Nose is...just a regular lager. Bready and a touch of hops. Some vanilla comes through but not much.

Taste is stronger. Your typical lager notes. Bready, clean, light. The vanilla, marshmallow presence announces it presence very quietly at the end. Subtle. Nice. It isn't anywhere near strong enough to be considered intrusive. It's merely an accent to what is otherwise a standard lager.

Mouthfeel is smooth and a little more dense than what is typical for a lager. The marshmallow is most like to blame for this. If there is lactose in here, I wouldn't be surprised.

Overall, an interesting venture. I would call it a novelty brew, but it's not so far from a normal lager that it takes away from its drinkability. Granted this probably has more calories than a Heineken, so it would be unwise to consume a 6 pack of these, but it is interesting to say the least and worth a try for people who like to drink the weirder brews.

 

16 oz can from Tavour. Medium golden pour, thick, super slow carbonation, some suspended particles. Sweet vanilla / marshmallow aroma. Taste tones down the sweetness for some pale malts, chewy and thick. Really nice all the way through.

Poured from 16oz tall can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned on 5/15/20.

Appearance: pale yellow hue with a very light haze and two fingers of creamy, pillowy eggshell foam atop. I think it looks nice.

Smell: mostly a pretty clean grainy aroma; if they come through at all, the marshmallow and vanilla show up more as sweetness than anything else.

Taste: oh, here we go. Lots of vanilla and a definite marshmallow character. This beer is very sweet; I'm not convinced it's totally working. It seems well-enough made, but perhaps just not to my taste.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a big carbonation and really quite a good creaminess.

Overall: I'm glad I tried this beer; it's interesting. But I'm not likely to try it again.

Originally had the tap version (4.0) but this is for the 2020 can release. Liked this even more. It’s like an amped up cream ale but a lager. Not too sweet but the vanilla and marshmallow show a lot. Very drinkable.

Pours a pale gold color with a white head. Smell had some hops with rice and grain. Taste had marshmallow ,grain,rice and lager yeast some hops in finish. Well carbonated with a creamy texture, marshmallow was present ,liked it.
