Grisette 5.5 º

Jackie O’s Brewery

Raspberry Scrip is a nuanced Grisette that balances rustic tradition with vibrant fruit and wild complexity. Fermented with Saison yeast and Brettanomyces, then matured for nine months in oak wine barrels, it presents an elegant, layered sensory profile. The second-use raspberries contribute a delicate, floral berry essence rather than heavy syrup, mingling with funkier notes of leather and hay. A soft, grainy malt backbone supports the wild fermentation’s bright acidity and exceptionally dry finish. The oak aging imparts subtle tannins and structural depth, resulting in a highly attenuated, effervescent ale that remains both refreshing and sophisticated.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale rose to soft copper-orange (8–12 SRM) with a dense, rocky, white to ivory head that shows excellent persistence and fine Belgian lacing.

Aroma. High intensity featuring bright, seedy raspberry fruit blended with rustic Brettanomyces funk, including notes of dusty hay and earthy leather. Moderate spicy esters of black pepper complement a faint vanillin and toasted oak background, while the malt presents as a light, grainy wheat character.

Taste. Initial impression is tart and crisp. Flavors of raspberry skin and red currants lead into a rustic, grainy malt middle. Brettanomyces provides a dry, earthy funk that persists throughout. Hop bitterness is moderate but perceived as firm due to the very high attenuation. The finish is bone-dry and clean with a lingering, spicy, and woody aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied with very high, effervescent carbonation. No significant alcohol warmth is present. A slight tannic astringency from the oak and raspberry seeds adds structure to a lean, prickly palate.
