Another from this Danish Brewery, this is the first Grisette I've had but it is meant to be similar to a saison. Like a saison this has a base of pilsner malt and unmalted wheat, but it also contains rye (maybe that's the Scandi element). The hops are Tettnager, Galena, and Simcoe. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A pale gold colour, turning to straw when held to the light. The head is thin, and thins to just a lingering film.
Aroma: Lots of yeast spice with a little funk, grapefruit and some bread dough.
Flavour: A light mix of subtle pilsner malt and hop resin, becoming slightly doughy towards the end.
Body: Refreshing at first, but it's got a surprisingly thick body for such a light ale.
Aftertaste: A little more hop resin along with the spicy yeast notes, similar to those from Belgian yeasts.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a bit of a mix of light refreshing flavours, and spicy full bodied notes.
Price Range: A box of 8 from Beer52 for £24 - so £3 for a 330ml bottle, a little on the pricey side but probably worth it.
Food Pairings: I think it would go well with a traditional pork roast, with plainly cooked vegetables.
