Description
Grimm Artisanal Ales is a Brooklyn-based brewery founded in 2013 by Joe and Lauren Grimm after nearly a decade of tinkering with fermentation. Grimm specializes in concise, elegant ales epitomizing the creative, experimental spirit of the American artisanal beer revolution. With each limited edition release, we seek to push the boundaries of style and flavor in order to create beers with the utmost depth and complexity.
For five years, Grimm operated as a nomadic brewery. Joe and Lauren would develop each recipe in the kitchen of their Gowanus apartment and travel to existing breweries near and far to craft their commercial beers.

Bottle shared in NYC - thanks to drsandman. The nose has a good hit of tangy lemon, perfume, slight lactic notes. Light sweet flavor with pleasant lemon tartness, pale bread, hints of apple, melon, slight acidity. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Clean and refreshing to finish with mellow lactic bite, more lemon tartness, low sweetness, some hay. Lovely beer.

Bottle shared by Todd tonight at the Christmas party. Lightly hazy deep golden color. Huge floral earthy pine citrus resinous aromas with some sweet honey like maltiness and earthy yeasty aromas. Rich sweet honey like malt flavors with loads of citrus hop flavors. Light hop bitterness. Very nice brew, glad I got to try it.

5oz pour at Torst comes a clear orange with some sticky, cloudy white head. Nose has a lot of nail polish at first, but the honey really shines through, sweet, earthy, floral, some marmelade, a little rose wine. Flavor has some booze, wood pulp, honey, a little herbal, wormwood, a little chartreuse. Sticky, boozy finish.
