A Note on This Beer

The origin of the Grisette is shrouded in myth and legend. Some say that it was created as a thirst quencher for miners in 18th century Belgium. Others say the term comes from the French word for “little grey,” referring to the grey dresses of the waitresses who served those sweaty miners. 

While history may be unclear, one thing’s for sure: anyone who’s worked a long day deserves to drink something crisp, refreshing, and supremely sippable.

Like today’s fruit-forward Cherry Grisette from Jester King! The lauded brewers crafted it with equal parts Montmorency and Balaton cherries, so each sip bursts with delightful cherry flavor.

Since they fermented Cherry Grisette in stainless steel tanks before adding the cherries during a secondary fermentation, the juicy flavor is balanced by a lip-pursing tartness that complements the cherries’ sweeter side. 

It’s also both unfiltered and 100% naturally conditioned, so you can taste the Texas countryside in every effervescent sip.

Whether you spend your days in the depths of a mine or behind a computer screen, this clean, easy-drinking sipper can be the canary that tells you when it’s time to chill.

The readers of Craft Beer & Brewing ranked Jester King the Fourth Best Small Brewery in the World!

To be fair, I don't actually know what a grisette should taste like. I ordered it because it was a new style I had never heard of. It has some cherry flavor, very close to the actual flavor of the berry off the tree. It may be reminiscent of the funk in real lambic. Not my thing so low rating.

Good Grisette. Good balance of hay grassy rounded by cherry. Wish it had more cherry honestly. Solid.

Very light cherry and very crushable, an ideal grisette actually a tad high ABV though

No head and appears only lightly carbonated on first pour. Color is like a blood orange or rhubarb (not red, not orange, not brown but somewhere in the middle) and is hazy. Citrus and strawberry on the nose with a little of that JK funk. Light bodied, no discernible bitterness, and tart. Lightly flavored with citrus and cherry notes.

Tart and effervescent, a bit on the plain side, with a light hint of sweet cherry just barely detectable above the funky backbone.
