Grisette de Dunham

Tap to rate

A light farmhouse ale from the brewery's core range, poured at the pub through a side-pull tap. Lemon zest and a squeeze of citrus lead, backed by white pepper and a soft floral note from the saison yeast. The grain sits well back, pale malt with a thin cracker edge, leaving room for a dry, spritzy middle. Carbonation is lively and the body slender, so the aftertaste closes clean rather than sweet.

◐ Taste

Pale malt and cracker-like grain form a restrained foundation, allowing citrus and spice to dominate the palate. The dry, spritzy character carries through cleanly with minimal residual sweetness, while the yeast's peppery and floral signature remains present without becoming heavy.

The aftertaste closes clean and dry, with no lingering sweetness. The finish is short to medium in length, fading to a subtle white pepper and grain note that leaves the mouth refreshed rather than coated.
