Grisette 4 º

Side Project Brewing

This session-strength Grisette presents a masterclass in rustic elegance, showcasing the complex interplay between the floral lift of European hops and six months of Chardonnay barrel maturation. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, white grape, and stone fruit, underpinned by a sophisticated Brettanomyces funk reminiscent of sun-dried hay and soft leather. On the palate, the Lactobacillus provides a bright, refreshing acidity that complements the bone-dry finish. Effervescent and remarkably light, this farmhouse ale balances subtle oak tannins with a grainy wheat base, offering a nuanced, vinous complexity that belies its low alcohol content.

Appearance. Pale straw (3 SRM) with a hazy, unfiltered appearance. Topped by a long-lasting, dense, rocky white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity mix of fruity-spicy yeast and funk. Esters of citrus and pome fruit are prominent. Earthy Brettanomyces notes of hay and leather blend with spicy black pepper. European hops provide a floral, herbal backdrop, while Chardonnay barrels add a light vinous oak character.

Taste. Balance of tart acidity and spicy yeast. Low grainy malt sweetness is immediately overtaken by lemon-like sourness and peppery phenolic character. Hop flavor is low and herbal. Exceptionally high attenuation results in a bone-dry finish with a lingering, refreshing tartness and subtle oak tannins.

Mouthfeel. Light body with very high carbonation, creating an effervescent and lively palate. No alcohol warmth is present. Crisp and refreshing with a slight drying astringency from the barrel aging.
