Hydra Schmoojee
Mortalis Brewing Co.

 

Look: It pours purple and cloudy with a pink head. Head retention is average.

Smell: It has sugary aromas that feature strawberry, nuts and blackberries. There are some raspberry and vanilla notes in the background.

Taste: The strawberry and blackberry flavors are the most prominent with vanilla, nuts, and maple in close support. To a lesser extent are raspberry notes.

Feel: It is quite sweet, but not really sour. The finish is sweet as well.

Overall, this beer is a sweet fruity flavor bomb.

 

 

 

16oz can from Tavour. Light lavender, murky pour, pale purple head. Aroma is fruity, berries, milky smell. Taste is a creamy berry smoothie, sweet milkshake notes, vanilla. A bit fruitier than the imprint version. Creamy, dense, delicious.

 

From an undated 16oz can. From an Instagram post by Mortalis, this beer was probably brewed in November 2021. The post includes “Hydra | Schmoojee (Fruited Sour) This Fruited Sour was brewed in collaboration with Imprint Beer Co. It blends Raspberry, Blackberry, Strawberry, Walnuts, Maple, Marshmallow, and milk sugar together to form just one of this monster’s many heads. Keep your eyes peeled for even more flavor combinations.” More like a fruit smoothie than anything else. Very sweet. That said, tasty!

 

 

 

This one pours a super gloopy and thick looking dark red color, with a small head, and not so much lacing as just sticky fruit puree lining the glass.

This smells like maple, berry smoothie, yogury, and walnut.

Like all of these, this is absurd. This might be even more absurd than usual - as there's just a glut of sweet and sticky maple here, and the walnut adds an intriguing dimension. There's a thick berry ridiculousness here. This is undeniably delicious, as all of the ingredients are strongly there, and the ingredients themselves are tasty - it's just difficult to drink a lot of this.

This is ridiculously pulpy and thick, with the usual smoothie-like consistency. 3 oz or so is just right for this.

My reviews of these beers are basically always the same.

Sweet and tart triple berry, vanilla marshmallow, and hint of walnut on the nose on this bad boy! Yowza! Taste follows with the sweet and tart berry notes upfront and then a vanilla-nutty, and maple finish. Wow! there is a lot going on here, but it works and is well-balanced. This has outstanding depth and a smoothie-like mouthfeel! I am a little late to the party with this one, but this is fantastic!
