Brewer Description: (from bottle) Grisette Perry was made from a turbid mash containing barley and oats. The resulting wort was hopped with Sorachi Ace in the boil and Amarillo in the coolship. Fermentation took place in a single ex-Scotch barrel with juice from Gloucestershire grown Gin perry pears. The finished beer was primed with Conference pear juice to provide the sugars for bottle conditioning.

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, bottled in December 2020, with a best before date of December 2025. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden straw yellow colour with a big almost three finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to a thin but fluffy cap, while leaving some nice lacing.
Aroma: Funky, wood, pear, apple.
Taste: Tart, sour, pear, apple, lemon juice, funk, oak.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to high crisp carbonation.
Overall: Light, bright and enjoyable. Just so easy to drink with refreshing pear notes.
