JoeMcPhee	3 Grimross / Garrison / Breton / Quidi Vidi / Upstreet ECMA Pale Ale - Track 2: Fredericton Pale straw-gold pour. Thick white head. Light haziness. The aroma is kind of odd. Onions and a bit sweaty smelling. There are some notable UK-type hops in here along with some fruitier new world varieties. A touch of diacetyl in the glass. This really doesn't come together for me. Saturday, July 30, 2022
Spab	3.2 Grimross / Garrison / Breton / Quidi Vidi / Upstreet ECMA Pale Ale - Track 2: Fredericton 473 ml can from the NSLC. Pours a cloudy dull golden orange colour with modest-sized whiteish head.

Nose is caramel, banana, Belgian yeast, and bread pudding. Flavour is caramel, banana bread, malty, and mild spices. Medium bodied, a touch low carbonation, and a mild sweetness with a mild boozy character. For a non-Belgian Abbey-style brew, it's quite nice. Tuesday, July 5, 2022
pictoman	3.4 Grimross Abbey Dubbel Poured from 473mL can (abv listed as 7.3%). Amber brown with small off-white head. Touch of toasted rye bread, caramel malt, candi sugar, better than anticipated, hint of belgian spice and alcohol. Tuesday, July 5, 2022
fiery1	3.3 Grimross Scratch #26 Maritime IPA 473ml can @ home. CANBIF 2022 Spring, thanks CurtisD. Canned 220302. Pours a clear golden colour with a small white head. Nose is gentle floral hops, some hop resins, a biscuity malt, and a hint of citrus pith. Flavour is similar, mild floral hops upfront, then a grassy hop quality with hop resins, grapefruit pith, some earthiness, and a biscuity malt. Medium bodied, decent carbonation, and a there's an underlying sweetness but the pithy bitterness prevails. Different from the classic pine hop bomb, though still not my 'cup of hops'. Monday, May 30, 2022

swiseman	4.1 Grimross Scratch #26 Maritime IPA Pours a transparent, pale orange with thin white head. Aromas of mild floral hops. Mild bitterness with very clean finish. Makes for a great session IPA. Saturday, February 26, 2022
Oakes	1.9 Grimross Praha Pale straw. Herbal hop nose. Is that pedio? Something is very wrong here, and pedio seems the most likely culprit. I can't drink this. Friday, June 25, 2021
Oakes	3.3 Grimross Cheval D'Or Can. Golden colour, just a slight haze. Estery nose, pears, a bit sticky. It's about that on the palate, too. Leaning towards sweetness before a touch of apple and acidity comes in at the end. The esters are just below the point where I'm getting annoyed. Low bitterness. Thursday, May 27, 2021
Oakes	3.7 Grimross Tmavy Pivo Can. Very dark brown colour, and a fairly big head. The aroma has toasted malts and some dark sugars. Medium body, flavour leads with dark sugars, but the toasty notes come in towards the finish. So it has a couple of nice elements that work well together. Maybe lacks the richness of the better European ones, but it's definitely a solid dark lager. Friday, May 21, 2021
swiseman	3.1 Grimross Tmavy Pivo Pours a dark black with thick tan head. Aromas of coffee and toast. Medium body with taste of roasted malt. Finish is quite strong with bitter molasses. Nice winter beer. Thursday, March 11, 2021
quispamchick	3.4 Grimross Praha A light and refreshing Czech style beer. Hints of citrus. Easy to drink. Best enjoyed cold. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, January 16, 2021
JoeMcPhee	3.3 Grimross Tmavy Pivo Deep brown pour with a thin tan head. The aroma is nice and toasty. Brown malt, some cocoa and light molasses. There’s a soft sweetness and a touch of earthiness and light roast. Moderate bitterness but nicely integrated. Warming brings up a bit of tartness that probably shouldn’t be there. Earthy bitterness. Decent dunkel - but leaning to schwarzbier. Thursday, January 7, 2021
Oakes	3.1 Grimross Baltic Porter Can. The aroma seems sort of fudgey, maybe toasty. It's a fairly boozy little number. Big malts, too, leaning towards molasses, with a balancing bitterness. Definitely that toffee/molasses thing has me thinking doppelbock more than anything else. Doesn't offer the sort of big rounded sugars or complex flavours that might make it sing, however. Sunday, December 13, 2020
Oakes	3.8 Grimross Oktoberfest Märzen Bright dark amber body with a thick head - enticing. On the nose, sweeter caramel malts, but with hints of toastiness and toffee. On the palate, enjoyable, light toast, touch of caramel. Just enough hop bitterness. Well balanced, complex marzen. Thursday, November 19, 2020
JoeMcPhee	3.8 Grimross Maritime Pale Ale Amber pour. White head. Nice citrusy aroma, grapefruit, berry, soft malt and a bit of pine needle. Good yeast/hop balance. Fruit profile reminds me of St Ambroise pale. Really solid pale ale... Sunday, August 16, 2020
swiseman	2.6 Grimross Hop Blonde Pours a transparent, light yellow. Lots of hops on the nose. Taste is pine resin and bitter flowers which crowd out the malt. This lack of balance might work for hop fanatics looking for a lawnmower beer, but lack of fruit and more complex malt flavors is disappointing. Earlier Rating: 4/8/2019 Total Score: 4 Direct from brewery: pale yellow with fizzy white head. powerful aromas flowery aromas. Light body. Taste is bread, mild citrus and grass. Finishes with strong hops that linger. Great session beer. Loved this one! Saturday, June 27, 2020
swiseman	4.1 Grimross Maritime Black IPA Pours a deep black with a creamy tan head. Strong aromas of alcohol and tar. Medium body with heavy hops that are well balanced against the chocolate malts. Finish is pure IPA where hops take over. Another great Grimross creation. Tuesday, June 23, 2020
swiseman	3.9 Grimross Praha Pours a pale, transparent yellow. Aromas of straw and leaves. Taste is fresh with some hops and fruit. Low alcohol content is not obvious. Finishes with a bit of earthy hops. Saturday, May 30, 2020
swiseman	3.3 Grimross Maritime Cream Ale Pours a pale yellow with thick, white head. Aromas of straw and freshly milled barley. Heavy lacings on the glass. Taste of straw and mild bitterness. Perfect session beer and a NB summer staple. Saturday, April 25, 2020
swiseman	3.3 Grimross Tree Hugger Maple Ale Pours a light brown with thin head. Scent of molasses and caramel. Taste is lightly roasted malts, medium caramel and a hint of maple. Maple/sweetness is fairly subdued, so properly balances out the malts without that sickly sweet flavor that some maple beers can have. A pretty decent brew overall. Saturday, April 18, 2020
neongolden	3.3 Grimross Cheval D'Or (473ml can c/o my girlfriend, source unknown to me) Pours basically clear bright gold with an average white head. Notes of lemon, a bit of tart stone fruit, light esters, lots of cereals and fresh baked bread, some sulphur like in some pils, some phenols/herbs/dried flowers/white pepper axis notes through the sip into the finish. Light body with a slick texture and soft filling carbonation. Alright stuff with food, feels like a Belgian blonde as much as a saison but drinkable. Thursday, January 16, 2020
jfpinel	3.2 Grimross Cheval D'Or Sunday, December 22, 2019
MeadTapper49	2.8 Grimross Braunschweig Friday, November 15, 2019
asheft	3.3 Grimross Maritime Pale Ale Creamy, with a classic c-hops aroma and flavour. A bit of dark fruit and biscuity malt akin to a California Common. Strawberry and watermelon notes in the flavour, assertive bitterness. Haze like in a dry hopped beer. Lacy, white cover. Bitterness really dominates the flavour. Monday, October 21, 2019
asheft	3.4 Grimross High Water Helles Sweet pilsner malt and honey, light bitterness, plus low, but present, diacetyl. More German, herbal pungent hops than the Pilsner. Bitterness lingers into the finish. Crystal clear gold under a lacy white sheet. Monday, October 21, 2019
asheft	3.6 Grimross Braunschweig Hay and floral and sweet herbal hops. Pleasant fruitiness and not as pungent and hops bitter forward as most German examples. Crystal clear light gold. Pretty impressive for what it is. Monday, October 21, 2019

AlainG	3.7 Grimross Scratch #20 Living Roots Saison Une blonde dorée sous une mousse crémeuse et persistante qui bave sur la paroi. Arômes de blé et de guimauve, de vanille et de pelure d'oranges. Saveurs poivrées, herbacées et fruitées, dans une texture des plus soyeuses. Appréciable. (2851-170819) Tuesday, August 27, 2019
AlainG	3.4 Grimross Grimdonk Une blonde amorphe, pourtant énergique au service. La mousse qui reste se résume à un mince voile. Des arômes de sucre candi, de zeste d'oranges et de poivre. Des saveurs crues et raides. C'est fruité, c'est sucré et ça égratigne un peu le gosier au passage.Un goût métallique nuit un peu à la dégustation. Ça peut être aussi bon que certaines belges, pourtant. (E18Juin19) (2846-130819) Tuesday, August 27, 2019
AlainG	3.6 Grimross Scratch #22 Hefeweizen Une blonde grisâtre à la mousse dodue. Blé et bananes en arômes. Saveurs qui rappellent les odeurs agrémentées d'une touche poivrée. Une exécution classique et plutôt facile et agréable à boire. (E210519) (2838-010819) Tuesday, August 27, 2019
AlainG	3.6 Grimross High Water Helles Une blonde limpide et une mousse timide. Ça sent les céréales sucrées, le houblon herbacé. On retrouve les même particularités en bouche alors qu'une faible amertume amertume titille la langue. Une effervescence qui picote le gosier. Agréable à boire. (2836-310719) Tuesday, August 27, 2019
AlainG	3.7 Grimross Praha Claire et limpide, coiffée d'une mousse commune laissant une dentelle éparse sur la paroi. un nez de grains, d'herbes et de miel. Des saveurs plutôt rafraîchissantes et désaltérantes. Un classique houblon-malt-céréales. Très satisfaisant du haut de ces 3,8%. (2834-270719/080819) Tuesday, August 27, 2019
