More information about Gringo
Like all of our beers, Gringo also has its origins in weekend brewing on the balcony. With Gringo, we ventured into uncharted territory in terms of brewing technology. We had never brewed a saison before. But that's exactly what makes it so appealing: trying something new. And we think that our first attempt at a Saison is definitely worth a look.
What we found particularly exciting about Gringo was the opportunity to combine the spicy notes of Belgian saison yeast with fruity hop notes and round off the beer with a full-bodied, palatable malt base.
To give Gringo body and a creamy note, we used lots of wheat and oat malt and combined it with several barley malts.
But what is a Saison without its yeast and its characteristic notes? For Gringo, we opted for a Belgian saison yeast. And what can we say? We think it has done a more than excellent job. The spicy, peppery aromas in particular come across wonderfully and harmonize perfectly with the fruity, sweet notes of the aroma hops used.
In this way, they give Gringo what we consider to be an extremely multi-layered complexity of flavor.
And you don't notice Gringo's 6.5% at all. Quite the opposite: it is so wonderfully drinkable that every sip makes you want the next one.
Well, that's how it is, the good Gringo: a fruity, drinkable beer that can't easily be pigeonholed.
