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. Pours cloudy golden with a nice thick white head. Smells of fruits. Great flavors of fruit with some yeast. Great beer.

750 mL caged and corked bottle, purchased from the Dekalb Farmer’s Market in Atlanta. Poured a hazy yellow color with a three finger, puffy, white head. The aroma was spicy, with notes of banana, hay, and a bit of citrus. The flavor was lacking complexity, with only spice flavors, some faint citrus and a bit of malt present. This really didn’t seem like a ~8% beer. Overall this was a solid beer, and for what I paid for it, a steal.

750 ml corked and caged bottle poured a clear tarnished gold with a large lasting white head. Aromas of straw, spice, light apple and light pear. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, light spice and a hint of fruittiness with a crisp dry finish.

This continues with I don’t really appreciate Belgian ales. It was really sweet, in a fruity saccharine kind of way. Heavy flourish of Belgian yeast. I bet this is a great beer, I drank too much and it was weird. Another failed attempt to enjoy an otherwise great style.

Stunning pour - hazy yellow body with an enormous white head. Lots of yeasty character with strong orange citrus notes and slight spice.

750ml bottle poured into a tumbler. OH pours very light colored and hazy with a medium-sized head that persists nicely and leaves great lacing. The aroma is yeasty with hops and citrus juice adding character. The body is quite carbonated and causes the beer to glide over the front of the tongue, just allowing a touch of brown grasses or hay to be detected. The beer finally settles down into a very tart finish that can take you unawares at first.

tastes: tart, citrus, lemon, yeast, bite of bread. Sharp carbonation up front then tart leaving a light metallic yesty aftertaste less metallic as it warms, also more noticable, albeit minute, hop bitterness as the temp raises.
