Camba Bavaria GmbH Grisette Belgian Ale Grisette / Petit Saison at 5.9% ABV | 17 IBU (2017 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #7, 330 ml, best before 7-Jun-2018, acquired 20-Nov-2017, reviewed 7-Dec-2017)
Appearance: hazy straw with one finger of fluffy white head, good retention and spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: bready yeast, coriander, orchard fruit, floral, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (7/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, dry short duration finish. (4/5)
An extremely rare style for me – this is only my third one ever – so I don’t have much basis for a decent evaluation. Applying the same kind of criteria I would to Saisons or other farmhouse ales, though, it’s a decent brew: reasonably light and crisp and decently refreshing despite the bready yeast that dominates the front end. The ABV might be a touch high for such a style, but it drinks easily regardless. (14/20)
