Grisette de Dunham

Brasserie Dunham
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Grisette · One of 3 Grisettes in hopIQ

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.

Very crisp and dry.

A direct pour that closes clean — trim and sharp, working together to keep things moving.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemon zest and citrus notes, immediately inviting. White pepper and herbal spice from the saison yeast emerge in the mid-range, layered with a soft floral undertone that adds complexity without overwhelming the delicate balance.

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.

Finish

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.
