Description
At Modist, we push past traditional brewing by embracing creativity and unconstrained experimentation.
This starts with the approach to recipe development taken by our Head Brewer, Keigan. Contrary to starting with a style guideline in mind, then moving forward – he starts with a flavor and experience in mind, then works backward. And since we’ve decided to not be bound by style guidelines, he’s free to use whatever ingredients in any amount with whatever technique he wants to create a new beer experience.
To enable this philsophy and to enhance our creativity, we created a custom built brewhouse that allows us to make the beers we want to make. It’s centered around the region’s first mash filter. This piece of equipment allows us to use any grain in any percentage – and do so while using a fraction of the water and energy of a traditional brewery.

Ultra hazy straw golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head with a 95 per cent opaque pale golden tint here - nice! Aroma of honey, cream, vanilla, alcohol, light caster sugar, a hint of hop bitterness and some stronger biscuity malts at the end. Full-bodied; Very rich, super sweet honey, vanilla, lactose and pure creamy notes hit strong at first and last a long time, with syrupy resin and a slight hop bitterness her, too, but the pungent sugars and very supportive malts dominate here and for a long time. Aftertaste is very rich, sweet, almost at the cloying level, with a deep, rich honey and lactose pungent throughout that has a very small dose of oranges and citrus fruits here, but this is robust - especially on the sugar and alcohol side of things. Overall, a deep, strong, relatively well-balanced, but super rich beer that has a bunch of lactose, honey, oats, malt, alcohol and hop notes that bring a lot of flavours and pungency here for the duration. Nice to try and quite sweet, but about what I expected here with a name like this! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$4,99, canned on 02-March-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-November-2022.
