2 Thumbs Up
Originally a single batch in the experimental Pretty Good Pale Ale series, kept on under its own name since 2023 because the brewery did not want to consign it to history. A hazy pale ale brewed with oats and wheat, which Modest labels bold, zesty and juicy. Drinkers report grapefruit, citrus zest and a dry stone-fruit note, a light body and a pleasant mouthfeel. The brewery does not publish the hop varieties.
