16oz undated can.
Pours cloudy gold with a short-lived head of white. Minimal retention or lacing. Soured orange juice with mango in the nose. Medium bodied with a slickish, tacky mouthfeel. Very sour and fruity on the palate. Mango, guava, orange, peach spritzed with vinegar. Finishes puckering and juicy.

Imperial Pint
Look: Hazy bright yellow-orange pouring a 1/2 finger head which dissipated into a thin rings and med lacing
Smell: Fresh mango, doughy wheat malt, and some baking yeast. Medium strength
Taste: Mango and raw dough, followed by a really strong lemon tartness riddled with tangerine. Finish is really nice, very light tangerine zest and lightly toasted wheat malt
Feel: light-medium body, with a semi crisp finish and moderate carbonation
Overall: Nose was a tad off putting, but the taste was very complex, yet weird. One of the most sour beers I've had to date, definitely would drink again

Poured from an undated can into a Teku glass. Think this was released on or around 12/3. Pale orange with some visible pulp on the pour. Smells like citrus fruit punch- tangerine zest and fresh cut mango. Lots of tangerine juice flavors up front with hints of mango on the finish. Can definitely make both prominent flavors out on the palate. Can hardly tell it’s 8%. Surprisingly thin mouthfeel- I think it could have been even better if a little thicker and chewier but that’s me being nit picky. Really tasty beer and I continue to be impressed with what modestman puts out.

Sour - Other:
Wow..the Mango tangy fruity sourness!!! Sour Earthy citrus tang is pretty intense. Crisp, yet slick and chunky feel. Like mango sour hoppy chunks that are seriously complex and also very heavy in the palate.

I tried my best to like this as I love both brewers and have been digging sours in a big way. Must be my need for berries of some form, and more of a malt backbone to balance. This was too much like just juice of mango and tangerine. Very OJ-forward in both aroma and flavor. Probably rating this higher than I really felt about it. Not for me. Yuck.

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic glass not sure when was canned. An Imperial Sour with mango and tangerine 8%. Pours a very attractive orange with a finger plus sticky head that leaves some thin streaks of lace with nice retention. 4.25
Aroma really tangerine stands up first, with mango, and maybe a little peach. 4.25
Taste follows tangerine, mango, with a little peach and pineapple. 4.5
Mouthfeel is above average, not sticky or dry, rather soft carbonation for the style, and at 8% if you like these flavors it goes down real easy. 4.25
Overall a nice collaboration in celebration of Modestman’s 2 year anniversary. Recommend for sure. 4.25
