Grisette with Galaxy hops and honey. Friends, even though we're all keeping so much we love at a distance right now, we can still connect! We may not be able to cheers glasses, but we can still raises a glass together. At A Distance was brewed to be extremely approachable. This is a crisp, easy beer with tropical notes from a gentle hopping of Galaxy hops, and aromatic wildflower honey. If you're not familiar with a grisette, it's kind of a like a chiller, more laid back cousin of the saison (which is already pretty chill and laid back). It's a beer you'll want to revisit - At A Distance, of course.

16 oz can. Pours golden, long-lasting, foamy off-white head and nice lacing. Nose is of spices, barnyard, lemon, piney hops and bready malt. Body is medium and tangy. Taste is of vinegar, wheat malt, funky yeast, spices and herbal hops. Finish is long and sour. Nice brew.

I've always sat on the fence about Pipeworks... basically, too much money for the flavors I like.
With At A Distance, I know why I sat there for so long: because their brews really are not for me.
At A Distance, frankly, doesn't Look like much. Saisons for farmers and their bros the grissettes-- designed to slack the thirst of miners -- are supposed to Look inviting... lots of foam, swirling protein. But not here, a below average performance. Smells are flat average; fruit and funk exist, but nothing that says "drink me." Tastes say why; they don't hang together. It was as if Pipeworks said, let's try a grissette and twist it a bit with a souring agent. Too much of that to have this one with a meal. Not a successful experiment in my book. Lacks a Belgian-inspired yeast.
I do, however, appreciate the intent of the name... which is that we should appreciate one another At A Distance during this pandemic.
I always give my hometown brewers a benefit of the doubt. It was bound to happen that I would not. Pipeworks should stick to their knitting.
