Inexplicable Grisette

§ How it tastes

Belgian farm workers drank it in the fields. The yeast throws pepper and citrus, the finish is bone dry, and the carbonation scrubs your palate between mouthfuls. If you like hazy IPAs for the fruit but not the bitterness, this is the same brightness with none of the bite.

That's the style. This beer is one brewery's take on it.

§ From the brewery

What exactly is a Grisette anyways? Well here goes - A Grisette is a refreshing, low alcohol beer of Belgian origin. It's an offshoot of a Saison, a style we tend to enjoy, and it was believed to be brewed for workers in the local mines. "Grisette" translates as "little grey"…
