Grisette is a light, refreshing ale made with German Grungeist hops to impart delicate floral and citrus aromas. French saison yeast and Zuper Saazer hops combine to contribute subtle herbal and spicy character together with a crisp, dry finish that will have you going right back for another sip.

A fairly cloudy body is so light in color it makes you think it's more translucent than it is. Head forms, but seems ambivalent to building itself up. Feel is quite dry with a moderate-plus effervescence to open. Ends up a bit light and watery, though. Warmth smooths the feel across the board, a welcomed improvement.
Aromas of hay and spice (clove, maybe nutmeg) play the main role. Beyond this I get just a hint of yeast - I hesitate to call it funk, but like a fresh bread yeast without any influence from the bread's grain. A decently strong farmhouse impression for a lighter version of the style.
Taste comes up a little short when the liquid is still cold. The aforementioned feel plays in here. The beer gets more dry grain to Carr's water cracker as it warms, and the spice turns a little towards white pepper. A hint of lemon zest also joins in. My palate gets used to the feel and lighter heft, allowing the beer to be enjoyed more as it warms.
In the end, I'd say take a few sips at fridge temps (assuming that as a storage location), and if it's not working for you, let it warm fifteen minutes or so (just getting into the 50s and see if it's more enjoyable).
