Draught at the brewery, 5/26/17.
Very hazy, copper-golden body is well-carbonated and topped by a large, fairly-well-retained, white head.
Black pepper is immediately noted as the most prominent phenol and for that I’m instantly excited. There’s a juiciness to it, as well, though it’s not hop-derived. Melon, apple and strawberry esters are all very aromatic while the finish has light acidity mixing with bready malts to give a slight sourdough impression. Very low on hops, just light floral and herbal notes without any real citrus presence. No alcohol, flaw, or messy/heavily American esters.
Malty and soft in the mouth with a fair amount of honey-caramel-like character from the residual sugar. To that extent, it’s maybe a bit too sweet, though certainly not offensively so. Tons of black pepper seen from the nose; this very well could be Dupont yeast. Low, loose carbonation could stand to be tightened up a bit to help disperse the malt and crispen the finish. Still, it’s quite drinkable on account of the mild-to-moderate acidity and strong black pepper (and light clove) phenols. Clean, no alcohol noted.

Poured into a tall tulip, the appearance was a golden semi-transparent yellow color with some carbonation rising to hit a finger’s worth of white foamy head that swiftly fell apart to leave some adequate sticky foamy lace.
The aroma had some sweet herbal/eucalyptus stickiness, lemon, white pepper, mullberries, and light juiciness.
The flavor melded the sweet to the herbal, bounced in a little earthiness and provided a sweet smooth herbal aftertaste. Finish was semi-sticky with a touch of sweet.
The feel was just a touch under medium bodied with a good carbonation and an ABV feeling just where the brewer projected.
Overall, pretty nice grissette worthy of coming back to.
