Description
A small independent brewery based in Northern Ireland with a belief in simplicity and a knack for brewing pretty good beer.
Like many good ventures, Modest Beer was born in a parent’s garage in Holywood, County Down when Chris Morris, a tax accountant by day, brewed a small experimental batch of Kölsch for a friend’s restaurant. Within two years we moved to a much larger brewery in Randalstown. We never set out to brew the best beer in Northern Ireland, but maybe someday we will.

Sampled from the tap at Woodworkers. Pours a clear yellow with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is hay forward with notes of grass, straw and a bit of melon supporting. Flavor combines grassy hay and melon with straw growing in to the beer.

Can from the Low Cost Beer online shop. Pours hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light tropical fruit and citrus. Taste is more of the same. Pretty standard gear.
