Murky purple. Big grape aroma and flavor with decent raspberry and light lemony character. Nice fruit/tart balance. Medium bodied fruit smoothie. Delicious !

A sangria inspired Smoothie Sour is one of the more unique ideas for the style that I’ve seen. And if anyone can do it right I’m trusting Mortalis. Let’s crack it open and see if I’m right to place my trust in them
Pours an opaque deep purple with a finger of reddish purple head that slowly fades to a thin cap and leaves decent lacing
It’s nice and tart in the nose, not exactly sangria-like with the raspberry leading but still good. I’m picking up on aromas of tart raspberry, lemon zest, red grape, orange juice, vanilla, apple skin, light strawberry, and pear
Things get a but sweeter in taste, with the focus really being shifted to the grape, though it’s a bit artificial. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting grape jelly, juicy strawberry, orange juice, lemon zest, jammy raspberry, vanilla, doughy malt, and light red apple. The swallow brings notes of grape jelly, juicy strawberry, orange juice, overripe peach, apple skin, jammy raspberry, and light vanilla
A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a surprisingly crisp beer for the viscosity. Finishes mostly dry with a balanced tartness
This one is pretty damn good all around. A little less sweetness would change it from excellent to world class but oh well
