Foeder Fermented Grisette

Tap to rate

A farmhouse ale brewed with restraint: at 3.9%, this grisette arrives as a low-alcohol refresher that trades strength for clarity. German Hersbrucker hops bring herbal and floral notes, while a touch of wild yeast—brett—adds soft, slightly acidic aromatics and a whisper of complexity without turning funky. Citrus edges appear in the aroma, the palate stays dry and nimble, and the drinkability climbs high enough to empty the glass without effort. This is an aperitif beer, built for the long afternoon or the table before dinner, when you want character without weight.

◌ Aroma

German Hersbrucker hops deliver clean herbal and floral notes at the forefront, underpinned by soft citrus edges. A restrained wild yeast character brings subtle acidity and whispers of complexity—never funky or overripe—while the low alcohol allows these nuances to remain in focus rather than receding behind warmth.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with a nimble palate that prioritizes clarity over weight. Mid-palate develops a gentle herbal spice and a light acidic thread that keeps the beer moving; the finish remains bone-dry with no residual sweetness, allowing the hop character and wild yeast complexity to define the aftertaste.
