Grisette Country Cool

Brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken)
Style: Fruit Beer
Opwijk, Belgium

Bottle. Chemical rotting apple aroma. Hazy yellow-orange color with large head. Very sweet apple-cranberry flavor. Another super Belgian fruit beer.

Huge, very dense yellowish head over faintly hazy straw-golden beer; some lace. Penetrative nose of fruit, especially apples, and a spicy note - maybe sage? Perfumed, and, I must confess, intriguing. Sweet, apples (but not cidery). I dig the apples, I seem to dig the quinces, I don’t dig the plums. Sweet, but not really exaggerated. Very fizzy MF, light bodied, slick. Not undeserving - in the same "style", I have encountered other horrors.

Bottle @ Maria tasting. Pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma isapple, plum, oak. Flavour is apple, plum, oak. Ordinary beer.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, quite pale golden beer with a small white head. Green apples and plums make the aroma. The flavor follows the same path, lower on plums, but generic fruity, sweetness added, and with a touch of bitterness. Medium to thin body with a pleasant level of carbonation. The finish has apples and a little sourish touch. Not my cup of tea, it’s too focused on apples, leaving too little room for beery flavors. (080413)

Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Fonefan. Light golden with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of apple and plum. The flavour has a rather heavy sweetness and notes of sour-sweet apples, hints of raisin, plum, caramel and citrus.

Unclear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of sweets and apples. A flavor of apples and sweets.

Bottled. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is apple, sugar, some mild earthyness also. Flavour is quite earthy, some green apples and sugar. Still quite balanced. Refreshing fruit beer.
