Grisette Blanche

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a pale, opaque white with a natural haze from suspension of wheat and yeast particles. A creamy, compact head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing as it recedes. The low color (3 SRM) and cloudiness are characteristic of the witbier style and signal the unfiltered, bottle-conditioned nature of this beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent spice notes of coriander and clove, complemented by fresh citrus—particularly orange peel and lemon zest. Beneath these top notes lies a soft, wheaten maltiness with a gentle floral undertone that adds complexity without overshadowing the herbals and citrus. The overall impression is bright and inviting, with no harsh or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

The palate is light and soft, yet remarkably full-flavored with distinct layers of contrast. Coriander and orange peel dominate the entry and mid-palate, followed by subtle notes of wheat bread and a whisper of lemon. Bitterness is minimal (15 IBU), allowing the spice and citrus to shine without astringency, while the low alcohol (5.5%) keeps the beer refreshing and drinkable.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and clean, with residual spice and citrus fading gently on the palate. Bottle conditioning lends a subtle creamy softness to the aftertaste, leaving no harsh drying sensation.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
