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. This is cloudy yellow with what looks like a twister in the middle of the cloudiness. The white head died quite quickly. The aroma is floral with a whole lot of lemon, some sourness. Light body. It is peppery on the tongue with citrus, mainly lemon. The finish is short.

Bottle. Ppoured a hazy pale gold color with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. A ting of sweetness but the alcohol was over-powering. Do not know if I have a bad bottle or not. It was only ok for me.

Draft. Pale, hazy yellow with a bright white head. Notes of alcohol, yeast, barnyard, and tropical fruit in the nose. Mild carbonation and a light mouthfeel. Tastes of lemon, hay, yeast, and honey on the palate. Finishes very clean. Defintely light and highly drinkable. A good saison from a great brewery!

Hazy and golden yellow with a huge frothy white head.Smell is full of grass, hopps, and lemon. Yeastie and sweet but very light.Taste is not as sweet as I thought it would be. Kind of earthy with a hint of yeast and hops. More citrus than anything.Highly carbonated and medium bodied. Not bad but I dont think it is the world beater some people do.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malty with notes of citrus and peaches and a bit of peber. The flavor is sweet with quite strong notes of citrus, then comes notes of dusty hops, saison yeast, honey, and alcohol, leading to a slighlty tart finish where citrusy notes lingers.

i have to say i was a little disappointed with this one. there wasn’t anything really wrong with it, it just lacked the complexity that i was looking for. clean, dry, fizzy, just not funky enough

750ml bottle into a pint glass delivered a cloud of foam that stuck around longer than a fog in the Falmouth harbor. The substance of this beer hinted at its farm routes with yeast and straw filling the aroma. The flavor was light and ended with a slight edge of alcohol.
