Quick Facts: ABV: 6% | Origin: Fargo, North Dakota | Style: Fruited Kettle Sour | Brewery: Drekker Brewing Company | Lactose Free & Gluten Free

Production & Heritage

Drekker Brewing Company operates out of Fargo, North Dakota, and has built a devoted following for boundary-pushing sour ales loaded with fruit pure and lactose. The Smol line represents a deliberate departure from that approachthe brewery describes these as beers where they “suppressed all of their dark urges to make things super weird.” The result is a trio of kettle sours that remain flavorful but skip the thick, pulpy texture of Drekker’s heavier releases. No lactose is used in any of the three variants, and all are brewed gluten free, making this one of the more inclusive sour packs on the market.

Tasting Notes

Strawberry Lemonade

Aroma: Bright berry sweetness leads, followed by a clean citrus lift reminiscent of fresh-squeezed lemon. There is a light spun-sugar quality underneath.

Taste: Ripe strawberry enters first, with the lemon character building through the mid-palate. A gradual tartness emerges toward the finish, balancing the initial sweetness.

Finish: Crisp and moderately dry with lingering berry candy. Effervescence keeps it refreshing.

Blue Razz

Aroma: Pungent blue raspberry candy dominates the nose, backed by a subtle juiciness. A faint vanilla cream note sits in the background.

Taste: Opens sweet with concentrated raspberry flavor, then a pronounced sour edge pushes forward through the middle and into the back palate. The sourness is assertive but controlled.

Finish: Medium length with a tart, candy-like fade. Clean and snappy on the close.

Passionfruit Orange Guava (POG)

Aroma: A pungent smack of orange bolstered by tropical fruit notespassionfruit and guava weave together over a subtle vanilla cream sweetness.

Taste: Slightly tart passionfruit leads, with orange and guava layering in on the mid-palate. Good effervescence carries the fruit flavors without heaviness.

Finish: Moderate length with a pleasant citrus-tropical tartness. Finishes clean without residual sweetness.

How to Drink Smol Party Pack

All three variants drink best cold, straight from the can or poured into a tulip glass to capture the aromatics. These are sessionable at 6% and designed for easy drinking without dilution. For cocktail-adjacent serves, Blue Razz works well in a Berliner Shandy mixed with sparkling lemonade. The POG variant makes a solid base for a Beer-mosa, topped with a splash of fresh orange juice. Strawberry Lemonade shines in a Radler-style blend with ginger ale for a low-effort warm-weather drink.
