Lil’ Grey One
Three Magnets Brewing

 

Pour is lightly hazy, straw/sunshine yellow. Super active with a good sized head that bubbles profusely but persists impressively.
Nose is funky but light. The straw theme carries over with a clean barnyard aroma that is sweetly funky.
Taste carries on the straw motif but it is getting thinner. Dry and grassy is the first impression, I guess you could say we are getting into hay territory. Not a lot else developing honestly. Pretty one dimensional, and that dimension is hay...
Mouthfeel is nice, very light and crisp. Easy to drink
Overall this is my first let down from the folks at 3 magnets, and it's a bad one. This beer is just boring. Grassy and watery, not a great mix.

an absolutely perfect example of grisette, like when people ask how its different than the saison they have had before, and its too hard to explain, this is the can of beer you give them to explain it for you, its borderline genre defining, and i wish i had a dozen cans instead of one to hammer through tonight. this is the kind of beer i stand for, and i love every bit of this! the art is dope, and the beer is fire, hazy like a new england ipa all starchy and dense, heady at first, but so much lighter to drink than that. there seems to be a multigrain base to it, wheaty body and look, rye spice and earthiness, some obvious bready or doughy barley, its all here. the yeast is white peppery and drying, but also has a lushness up front, belgian but not over the top, not yet wild but potentially getting there, with some genuine weirdness to it in a good way. dried hay and straw, corn kernels or canned hominy for pozole, lemongrass, black pepper now, bitter tea, its insanely complex for a drinkable and even minimalist beer. somehow fresh in a style i always want to taste kind of old, but in a good way, if that makes sense. so glad i bought a can of this, i could not be more high on these guys right now. heady and great and drinkable for miles and miles and miles and miles...
