Mixed Culture Grisette
Sometimes it’s fun to take a much-loved staple and shift it in a different direction. Passing Time is our Table Beer Saison, bulk-aged in stainless steel for 8 months with a blend of wild yeasts and souring bacteria. Lightness in alcohol, funk and tartness help make this beer truly multi-purpose – it’s great as an aperitif, an accompaniment to a meal, or to simply drink with friends.

Had on tap. Mostly clear golden body with a white collar. Aromas of wild yeast, lemon, lime, melon, slight lacto within a new world wild funk, big flowers and white pepper. Taste has huge citrus with a funk closer to barnyard than the nose foretold, white pepper, minor fruity tea, soft pale grains, and wild yeast. Feel is bright and sour in a gentle fashion, funk even more so. Love the concept of this, execution is new world but well done!

Semi-cloudy, light yellow body; plenty of coarse carbonation; nice head, one-finger thick, white and semi-creamy; a light string of brown sediment lines the top of the head. Very pleasant citrus aroma with a touch of horse blanket; some faint cereal grain smell. Exquisite taste; bright and light citrus; lemon with some lime; very mild sweetness offsets the citrus tanginess. Medium body; velvety denseness; mild tartness on the palate.
This is a very fine, light farmhouse-styled ale. It brings a delicate lemon and very subtle cereal grain taste to the palate with plenty of depth, balance, and refined complexity.
Poured at 49 °F; no bottling data seen on the bottle.

Bottle from the brewery in Brooklyn. Pours opaque light straw yellow/gold with two fingers of bubbly white head that sticks around, nice lacing, smell is funky, bitter, sour grass, lemon/lime zest, hints of passionfruit and guava, touch of sunscreen, taste follows the nose with sweet bready malts up front, hints of honeydew melon, finishes with mild sour funky grass twang and lemon/lime zest that lingers, feel is medium to light bodied, almost chewy, bright carbonation. A quaffable grisette with some body, and nice malt to grassy funk balance.

Poured from half-liter bottle into a plastic cup. This is a grisette style beer.

Hazy hay colored with little to no head. Smells tart, acidic, and fruity. Thin, grainy, and wonderfully lactic. A tart, quaffable, mealy sort of beer. It's compulsively drinkable, very moreish, and light on the palette. Fun.

Mid sized bottle, purchased at the outpost location in Brooklyn, N.Y.
I can find no bottling date or best before kinda info.
Pours dull golden, lightly hazed, with bubbles continuing to rise....Lasting light khaki cap, that leaves slippery strands of lacing.
Bright flowery nose with pepper, tea and crisp apples coming to mind.
Crisply carbonated, fresh tasting and refreshing in the mouth.
Final pour adds the yeasty cloudiness.
Complex and flavorful brew in the saison realm of things (its called a "grisette" on the label.) Notes of more pepper, cutting apple tartness, more flowery notes. Delicious and likely would be great with some peppery salads, cheese and crusty bread, and, of course, with BBQ, spicy, Thai/Vietnamese kinda chow.... very enjoyable stuff...go get some

$5 for a small draught pour @ Threes.
I get the rose hips along with lively yeast and microfloral intangibles. Bright malt backbone. A blip of lactic smackiness. Acidity.
Balanced fare with above average depth of flavour. Smooth, wet, refreshing, light-bodied. Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.
Drinkable enjoyable fare from Threes. A good table beer even if it doesn't nail traditional style conventions.
