Grand-Mère reimagines the classic Weissbier through a botanical and modern lens, blending traditional yeast signatures with vibrant aromatics. The signature banana and clove phenols of a German wheat beer provide a soft foundation for an assertive citrus punch from a generous addition of Citra hops. This fruitiness is deepened by the herbal complexity of thyme and the bright, lemony spice of coriander, reminiscent of an artisanal infusion. The palate is defined by creamy malted wheat and a refreshing, spritzy carbonation that carries the interplay of garden herbs and tropical fruit toward a crisp, dry finish. It is a harmonious, easy-drinking remedy of citrus and spice.

Aroma.High intensity. Moderate banana and clove yeast esters are layered with a pronounced citrus and tropical fruit character from Citra hops. Distinctive herbal thyme and a spicy, lemony coriander note complement a soft, bready wheat malt base.
Taste.Initial bready and doughy wheat flavors are followed by an intricate mix of clove and banana fermentation notes. The middle palate is brightened by grapefruit and lime from Citra hops, while thyme adds an earthy, savory depth. Low hop bitterness is supplemented by coriander spice. The finish is well-rounded, clean, and relatively dry with a lingering herbal aftertaste.
