East End has some of the most pleasingly unique beers I have ever tasted. You guys that live outside the local area really need to seek out these brews. I drink this beer to celebrate my 50th birthday. From a 2 week old growler, this stuff pours somewhat like a pale yellow lager with a hint of orange and has lots of rolling carbonation continuously rising from the within. Has a splendid aroma of wet straw and mild hints of fresh J&L blast furnace gravel. Such a mild impact greets the palate. Mild friendly flavors. I am really startled how well this stuff kept in a plain old clear bottle with a screw top. Much better than the cherry grisette, the absence of fruit lets the real base of this session beer shine on thru! Scott, you really know how to brew ’em. Even though there is a very mild, barely perceivable developing bitter presence on the finish of each swig, it is just enough to let you know it is a beer. Simple, facile, gentle, effortless, unhurried, and comfortable. Merry, pleasurable, sporty amusement. Trim, orderly and precise. I drank two big 22 oz mugs of this and barely caught a buzz, talk about session brew. These low alky beers really make beer drinken enjoyable. A breed someplace between a witbier and an excellent saison. As mentioned earlier, on the finish there is a mild unique fermented grass personality that manifests itself on the palate. I used to think fruit lambics were the perfect session brew, I don’t think I really knew what a session was till I come across this brew. Long live Grisette mild belgie ale! It is very tuff to find anything negative about this brew at all. A very easy beer for a lager lover to appreciate. Lacks the insulting personality that is so common in today’s genre of U.S. craft beers. Simply delicious, a refreshing regression to the basics of beer.
