A Note on This Beer
Today’s brand-new Forgotten Colors has everything I crave in a summer crusher!
- It’s CHUGGABLE — Thanks to healthy additions of malted wheat, oats, barley, and flaked oats in the base, every sip of this sunny-weather Sour is smooth as silk!
- It’s FRUITY — The Minnesotan flavor masters at Modist hopped the brew with Simcoe for citrusy undertones. Then, they conditioned the brew on heaps of real passionfruit and dragon fruit. It’s a tangy-tart swirl of juicy fruit nectar in every gulp!
- It’s an ALL-DAY DRINKER — The brewers also dosed Forgotten Colors with some Madagascar vanilla beans for extra tongue-tantalizing sweetness. It’s almost too easy to keep tippin’ back this fruity-juicy brew, even with the buzzworthy 7.5% ABV.
Leave it to Modist to craft a beer that practically begs to be sipped on the edge of a lake all day. It gets mighty muggy in Minneapolis this time of year, so they know a few things about staying cool and refreshed.
If you’re looking for something deliciously tart, fruity, and chuggable, Forgotten Colors might just be the crusher you’ve been searching for all summer.
*Modist won the title of Most Innovative Brewery at the 2019 MN Brewers Cup Awards!

Fantastic! Light fruity smooth and crisp. Tart but not too intense. Soft on the palate and balanced the whole way through

A solid sour. Tart without heavy acidity; the dragon fruit and passion fruit are very prominent in the beginning, and although I don't outright taste vanilla, I imagine that vanilla bean is what gives this sour such a smooth finish. Not complex but good.

Very sour at first I'm getting a tomato juice flavor very good though

Dragon and passion fruit very prominent, vanilla not so much. Tartness hides the ABV well. Tasty.
5.0
Very good mix of flavors and love the uniqueness of the dragon fruit. I like the retro design of the can and the bright vibrant color of not only the can but the beer as well. Very happy with the way this one tasted.
