Grisette Blanche

◎ Aussehen

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.

◐ Geschmack

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.

◑ Abgang

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.

Kalt servieren, um die zarten Zitrus- und Gewürzaromen zu erhalten. Zu warm werden die Hefe-Ester schwer — zu kalt verschwindet der Koriander.

Das hohe, schlanke Weizenglas fasst die volle 50cl-Portion und zeigt die trüb-goldene Farbe. Das breite Mundstück lässt Zitrus- und Gewürzaromen frei aufsteigen.
