Southern Grist Brewing Company Franco Crisp
What the brewers say
“Pilsner style lager brewed with French pilsner malt and Barbe Rouge hops.”
What our panel thought
“Moderate floral and slightly perfumy on the nose with a slight hint of bread dough. Malt profile is quite delicate, but complex, with toasted brown bread and biscuit with a spicy but smooth phenolic note of black pepper, just a hint of cinnamon, and subtle floral, stone-fruit aspects. Finish is smooth and lingering with black pepper and floral working harmoniously.”
What our editors thought
“Light floral nose, lightly sweet malt with a soft floral bitterness. Refined and elegant.”
