Serving HYDRA VS. HOUNDS at its best involves a few well-considered steps. Sours like this typically reveal their full spectrum of flavors when served at a slightly chilled temperature, around 45-50°F.

Pair it with tangy goat cheese or a citrusy salad to complement its acidity, or contrast it with a rich, creamy dessert to create a harmonious balance. HYDRA VS.

Thought this would be too sour based on the can but actually way heavier on fruit, almost like drinking a smoothie. Not bad, just not what I pictured.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Mortalis does love loading up the fruit in their sours, if you want something more puckery next time, check out Finback's offerings.

Shared this on game night. Tart and super fruity, maybe a touch sweet for me but went down fast. Would definitely buy again if I see it.
