Green Bench, in my opinion, is one of the best makers in the world of Grisette-inspired beer. According to Phil Markowski’s Farmhouse Ales, Grisette was a low alcohol, dry, and refreshing style of beer that originated in the late 1,800’s along the modern day Franco-Belgian border to serve a growing population of stone and coal miners. I first tasted Green Bench’s Grisette last summer, and instantly became a huge fan of their interpretation of the style. We sought to achieve the wonderful, starchy, grainy malt complexity of their Grisette, along with its quenching, lactic sourness. Beachtimez Sportzketball can be considered as an ode to Green Bench Les Grisettes, but with the local touch of Texas loquats. Loquats, by the way, hang from the branches of a lot of trees around town during the spring in Austin. We considered a nighttime guerilla raid to get them, but fortunately some local friends and Jester King employees helped us out!
The artwork for Beachtimez Sportzketball, created by our in-house artist Josh Cockrell, was inspired by spending an afternoon at the beach in Saint Petersburg, Florida with Khris, Dan, and Kristin of Green Bench playing frisbee and tackle touch football. The photography above is by Tyler Malone of The Second Shooter.

I wish this was as powerful as the description, it's pretty light but I love the flavor I get out of it. Art D. Is that Tim tebow?

L42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, dry and with decent fine carbonation. Dry malts, sweetish. Mild floral vibe. Touches of lemon and lemon sherbet. Light dry finish. A bit dry but nice mild lemon.

Sample at First Draft Taproom during the "CSA ALL DAY" event on 10/06/2017. Hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, funky yeast, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of citrus, yeast, wheat and grainy malt. The finish is mildly funky with a fruity yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

On tap at Jester King, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of rustic farmhouse yeast, earthy and light spiciness. Flavour is earthy and dry, with rustic farmhouse yeast, light spiciness, and dry grains. Dry and wonderfully attenuated. Excellent.

HUGE THANKS to Compton25 for the bottle. 750 ml. bottle split by 4. Hazy citrus golden, soapy white head. I have never had a Loquat so no context there. Nose is very soapy big soapy with vaguely sour citrus fruit that I cannot place. Taste is soapy fruit, fruit is nice, vaguely juicy sour, fruity, reminds me a bit of a Mirabelle Plum, plaster. Easy drinking very mellow funk, odd soapy profile is a bit too high. Decent but I expect more from Jester King but it seems like no longer everything that they make is brilliant.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from Beergium. Pours clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. The aroma has lemon peel, crispy wheat, husky grains. Light sweet flavour with mellow lemony tang, more crispy wheat bread, citrus peel. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Clean finish, lightly drying, perhaps even a little chalky, with more lemony tang, wheat flakes, soft acidity. Very good stuff overall.
