Can into Nonic Pint

Look: hazy orange yellow, pouring a 1 finger head which slowly dissipated into a thin cap
Smell: Strong earthy resins, touch of dank, some malt, lemon and ripe mango. Very sweet aroma
Taste: Sweet ripe mango with some lemon. Lightly resinous pine, earthy. Orange. Light bitterness, with a mellow finish. Lingering lemon and orange pith and obviously, mango
Feel: medium bodied, gentle carbonation, semi crisp. Silky texture
Overall: I think the mango carries this beer. It’s good, but there are some underlying flavors i don’t exactly love

 

 

Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5% clarity) medium to keep golden orange/yellow color with a strong white head. SRM of 7. (4.00)

Aroma: Aromas of orange, pineapple, ripe mango juice, (3.75)

Flavor: Flavor follows with orange, pineapple, mango. Some sweet orange, pineapple, mango juice lingers. (3.75)

Feel: Medium to heavier body, appropriate carbonation. Smooth. (4.00)

Compared to RAR Loose Strokes 3/26: Pours darker, similar aromas. More mango/pineapple. Less vanilla, orange.

Overall: Drinks as described. Mango juice addition is alright. Not my favorite style. (Rating: 3.79)

Update: I tried this the other night but wasn't a fan. Not a big fan of fruit or adjuncts in beer. However, this is drinking much better the second time around. The mango seems more tame tonight. A bit better than I remember.

Canned 12/31/24… no day is sacred; poured a lighter yellow golden murk with a thin head that laced down the glass. Aroma is grape to me, mild and soft. Taste is sweet grape to me, mild tropical Now And Laters succulent,. Feel is soft, succulent, mild dank and mild sweetness. Overall it has tropical, bsweet, bitter dank smacky. Big Mortalis fan here!

 

Their mouthfeel on hoppy beer has become neutral on mouthfeel, no feeling of palate erasing. That's a good thing, particularly for this fruit ed imperial.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a one finger creamy white head.

S - Aroma is orange, mango, peach and dank hops. Light amount of clingy lacing.

T - The taste is tangerine, peach, mango, passionfruit and dank hops.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel with a crisp finish.

O - Another solid IPA from Mortalis.

 

 

 

Can purchased from Mortalis Brewing in Avon, NY.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like sticky mango, pineapple, passionfruit, grapefruit, and marijuana.

Like most Mortalis IPAs, this seems to have gotten better with time. It's a little bit sweet, but it's got a great sticky and citrusy hop character, with just a little bit of weedy bitterness on the back end.

This is light bodied, clean, and a little bit creamy, with a good drinkability to it.

This is pretty good stuff, but not in the upper echelon for Mortalis IPAs - that's the OldManBearMa series.
