Commercial Description:
This hoppy, farmhouse style ale has a champagne like effervescence with a crisp but light on the tongue finish. Similar to the Belgian Saison style , this beer serves well as an aperitif. Hennepin has a majestic golden hue. The style is called Grisette or farm house and is considered to be in the domain of the Belgian Saisons.

Bottle, courtesy of Harry. Light to medium yellow, medium fluffy white head, streaming bubbles. Amazing aroma - earthy, floral, yeast - classic farmhouse here mixed with some hops. Great taste - lemon, musty, yeast. Body a tad thin. No alcohol at all, very drinkable. Great beer.

Pours a nice golden color with a large white head. Aroma is spices, yeast, spices, malt. Flavor is yeast, spices, hops, musty funk, esthers, fruit, coriander. Loads of carbonation in this one and finishes a tad sweet with a little bitterness. Nice brew.

750ml Bottle from Hiller’s market in Northville, MI. This pours a pale yellow with medium fluffy white head. The aroma is of red wine and sugar. It’s slightly fruity, with some caramel notes. This beer is really great. This is my second offering from Ommegang, and I think they are a great specialty brewery. Cheers!

Bottle picked up at StateLine. Poured into a snifter. Golden orange in color, decent head that didnt stick around. Nice musty, earthy, and yeast aroma. Taste has a nice little spicyness to it. Along with some ctirus, yeasty, earthy notes. It has a nice hoppy after taste. Texture is light and lots of carbonation. Easy drinking. Nice saison.

I am not in the best condition to be rating this beer if you know what I mean. As always with a saison, it is not a problem to open an uncarbonated beer. Nice harze orange in color. I am having a dead mans party here. Nice yeast/malt taste. Very good actually. Decent malt/yeast aroma that isn’t as pungent as I thought it would be. Nice taste, but the palate is a bit too carbonated. Nice fruity saison flavor. Carbonation is a bit much.

750mL bottle at our 3rd KW group tasting. Thanks to whoever supplied this one. Pours a nice deep hazy straw gold with a small white cap. The aroma screams sweet fruity esters, peach and melon feature prominently. The flavour has that upfront followed by minor spritz like champagne. Some dankness but nothing that would suggest Brett. Very sweet and fruity, a bit lacking and perhaps that takes away from the better aspects of this beer. Maybe I had higher expectations for this brewery which I guess is my own fault. Decent but it kind of tastes like they threw a bunch of jube-jube candies in the mash for some reason.

Acheté à Lombard au état-unis dans l’état de l’illinois au famous wine and spirits. Dégusté avec Glandine et Agaguk dans un verre de chimay. Apparence blonde ambré brûmeuse avec une bonne mousse collante au verre. Arômes de meringue,tangerine, yogourt, banane et un filet d’alcool. Goût d’agrumes, gingembre. Bonne amertume avec une finition sec. Une bière un peu décevante et sans artifice.
