UPDATED: JUL 1, 2021 Bottle. Moderate hay for the malt, grass and lemon for the hops, light mustiness for the yeast, with damp wood, wine must and over-ripe pineapple in the background. Head is small, fizzy, white, with slippery lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy, light amber. Flavor starts moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery, with a fizzy carbonation and a slightly tart finish. Well crafted Grisette...one can tell this is an older beer style. Another one well done by Jackie O's. And I learned about the style just by reading the label!
