Cerberus

Tap to rate

Berries and cream in beer form. Cerberus stacks raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry over a soft, lactose-thickened body, then adds marshmallow to smooth out the tart edges. The result is dessert-adjacent without ever tipping into cloying — a smoothie sour where the fruit is the point, not a bolt-on. Mortalis's most-approachable core sour.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Cerberus

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a soft haze that invites the eye without obscuring detail. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in delicate patches, leaving thin trails of lacing as you drink. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a fine bead that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe raspberry and blackberry, backed by creamy vanilla and a whisper of marshmallow sweetness. Subtle lactose rounds the edges, creating a dessert-like impression without sharp fermentation notes. The berry character remains the focal point, warm and inviting rather than tart or funky.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and plush, with blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry arriving in quick succession across the middle. Lactose thickens the body and mellows the natural fruit acidity, while a gentle tartness emerges in the mid-palate to keep the profile balanced. Sweet and creamy notes dominate, but residual fruit character prevents any sense of cloying excess.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderate in length, fading smoothly from berry to a lingering vanilla-marshmallow sweetness. A whisper of residual fruit tartness persists on the tongue without harshness.
