As we have evolved, we have looked for ways to continue to elevate and experiment with our favorite beers. Grisette is inspired by the soft session beers of Belgium with it's blond color, notes of floral European hops and delicate, bright finish. For this iteration, we gently dry-hopped this complex, yet very approachable beer after aging it in a Missouri Oak Foedre for several months before naturally conditioning it in this bottle.
Blend #1 was dry-hopped with New Zealand Pacifica and Slovenian Styrian Golding.

750mL bottle, 10 Year version, with the type of hops used for dry-hopping unlisted, drunk 2/17/24. Clear, bright blonde-golden. Small, rapidly-collapsing, white head. Delicate nose with the same oak and tannin from the base version, of course, with the addition of a little more, and much-needed, brightness, thanks to the hop additions. Clean and with a good amount of Sacch character to complement the light Brett. Soft, malty, nutty, tannic but not problematically so. A bit of tartness, but a good showing from fruity and pepper-laden Sacch. Definitely not carried away by the dry-hopping, its only gently adding a bit of herbal, citrus and mineral here. Clean, oaky, very drinkable and flavorful.

Sampled from the tap at The Sovereign. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lemon and tart light fruits with some grass and earthy grains supporting. Flavor has sour lemon and tart light fruits with some grass and earthy biscuit backing.

Pale and slight haze. Light tartness, good brett, slight clean pale malt. Good stuff.
