Strawberry Fizz

Tap to rate

A fruited sour that has been part of the Modest line-up since 2022. According to the brewery, sweet, juicy strawberries are layered over a sour base, giving a beer that is soft, smooth and full-bodied instead of sharp. The label conjures a spa getaway with strawberries and sparkling wine on ice, and the profile follows that idea: ripe berry fruit in front, the acidity underneath.

The palate opens with prominent strawberry fruit and a soft, rounded sweetness that develops early.
