A grisette is a style of table beer/low alcohol farm house ale drank by miners. Appropriately light and dry without lacking layers of character. Fruit and husk notes from raw buckwheat perfectly couple with a strong carbonation and our house fermentation character to produce an uber refreshing beer.

Thanks Willrunforbeer! Clear yellow with ample carbonation. Aroma of yeast, Pilsner malt, light grass, and wheat.
Well this flavor is fresh. Grass clippings, Pilsner malts, crackers. Lighter body with a Effervescent mouthfeel with a crisp dry finish. Lots of flavor for such a lower gravity. Gosh, nice brew!

Bottle drunk 5/26/16.
Big, dense, white head atop steadily fades to cover. Golden-copper body has a moderate haze to it.
Cream of wheat-like notes combine with a more playful pepperiness leading to soft honey-vanilla and a touch of floral characteristics on the end. No alcohol or flaw. Low on the esters, which is fun. Really get to get at the buckwheat and other grains.
Tight carbonation, strong attenuation and a soft, wheat-like texture all make for a phenomenally drinkable beer that is clean with just enough rustic graininess to add complexity. Pepper and herbs build up lightly on the finish with just a hint of sweet honey from the base malts. Light apricot-nectarine is the extent of the esters and it’s very reserved, overall, on the Belgian character. Hint of tartness at times.

After a day of rock climbing at St Johns ledges in Kent CT was looking for some local suds unfortunately the brewery taproom doesn’t open for a few weeks but was able to grab some at Kent wine and spirits a quaint little store downtown. Light cloudy yellow pour. Nose is buckwheat I assume and some light peach. Tastes of rich buckwheat, some peppery spice, peach fuzz, musk, some basement. Light bodied I could see miners enjoying.
