Grizzled Canary is a 4.0% ABV grisette brewed by Cinderlands Beer Company (Pittsburgh, PA). Brewed with pilsner malt, flaked wheat, flaked barley and then fermented with Voss Kveik, a Norwegian farmhouse strain. Enigma hops are added to offer a red currant, sauv blanc flavor profile.
This beer pours to a straw-colored with a slight haze offering drinkers a pronounced lemon zest and white grape aroma with background notes of fresh-cut herbs. Starting bracingly tart then smoothing out with fresh spruce tips and preserved gooseberries finishing to a bone dry, saltine cracker finish.
Cinderlands recommends that you stay away from strongly flavored fatty meats with this beer due to the acid forward profile that will cut richness easily. Instead they say to focus on leaner meats such as chicken as well as spring pasta.
