Jun 27, 2009 I really can’t believe it has taken me this long to try this beer. Bottle, at The Sanctuary, Iowa City. Very pale gold, nice dense white head. Fresh field nose, clean air, pepper. Delicate, effervescent palate, mint and rosemary, brisk earthy bitterness, dry finish with just a little touch of butter. Beautiful beer.

Jun 27, 2009 Pours a light, golden orange with a nice fizzy head. Spicy, floral aroma. Dry, bitter balance of orange, lemon, apricots, and banana. Refreshing sour finish.

Jun 26, 2009 On tap pours clear golden yellow with white head. Aroma is pepper and biscuit. Medium mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation. Flavor is is more fruit, some pepper and must, and finishes dry. Nice.

Jun 26, 2009 Light and refreshing, pretty dry. Full of flavor, but still pretty mild. A little bit of mustiness. I’m getting the feeling that saisons somehow manage lightness and lots of flavor at the same time, and I like it a lot.

Jun 25, 2009 Slightly aged bottle.
Rather dark gold leading into orange, with a super fin, white, low head. Fruity, citrus aroma, slightly sour, with spicy Belgian yeast. Lemony, hoppy flavor with light golden malts, apricots, and a bitter finish. Bit of honey and biscuits. Refreshing, medium bodied with abundant but soft carbonation. Very nice. A true Saison, only out-classed by 2-3 of the Belgian ones I’ve tried

Jun 24, 2009 A golden beer that could’nt wait to get out of the bottle and poured to a nice white 3 finger head that partially dissipates. When drank it leaves a nice lacing and has a carbonated mouthfeel. Definitely tastes like it’s brewed in Belgium with a nice lemon & spice taste.

Jun 24, 2009 Enjoyed on several occasions, both on tap and in bottle conditioned bottles. I have always thoroughly enjoyed Hennepin, but was really disappointed by my last tasting, which came in the form of a 750ml bottle. Unfortunately, instead of the lemony spicy aromas I was expecting and used to, there was a very strong note of diacetyl, which dominated almost everything else. The palate brought a nice conglomeration of spices and malt sweetness, but both were overshadowed by the aforementioned off-flavor. Overall, this was disappointing, but not indicative of the quality of this fine beer. I suspect the flaws were due more to its mis-handling following bottling than by brewing and fermentation flaws.
