Grisette Country Cool

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

Bottled. Hazy amber, rich head. Extremely artificial apple/bubblegum aroma. A ridicolously sweet beer based alcopop. Drinkable like a sweetened Sprite, but with even less character.

Bottle @<a href=http://ratebeer.com/forums/thisted-kalder target=_new> Thisted Tasting by Maria.. Clear light yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate apple, green apples, notes of plum. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (120408)

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.

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.

Bottle. Somewhat artificial aroma of Granny Smith apples and plums. Horrible bitter flavor, sugary sweet with artificial fruit. Aftertaste of rotten apples and aspartame. Hardly drinkable.

Bottle, bought @ Bierkoning, Amsterdam.
Pours pale golden with a small, creamy, white film head. Aroma has light apple zest, berries, herbs, basil and chewing gum. Soft, highish carbonation, fine enough, yet slightly thin mouthfeel. Sweet flavur, apples, a touch smoke and lightly herbal.

cloudy dark orange colour, bright white foam and a decent lace; perfumy aroma of mango; very sweet and juicy palate, sticky; light-bodied, no bitterness and a long sweetish aftertaste of apples and mango - well, well, well ...

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.
