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.

Flavours and aromas reminded me of a wheat beer. Hoppy without being too bitter, just nice and tangy. Fizzy in a good way.

not a style of beer I’m familiar with. Fruity citrusy flavors, along with spices. Very smooth body. I like the regular Ommegang better.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2003 tart/sweet/sour; butter feeling on the roof of my mouth. flowery. moderate bite. not many floatie for a bottle conditioned. by the end of the bottle, i started to taste the alcohol more than i should have. for the style, it was a bargain (3.99 for a 25oz bottle), maybe because it's not an import - sure seems like one - that's a complement. much much better than their RareVos.

A crisp, bright ale with a flavor of honey, hops and four leaf clovers. A tad too doughy.

I wasnt very impressed, but I have been spoiled by better belgians. It did remind me of a white belgian as well, but Id take a white over this any day. It had a weird crispness to it that didnt make it very smooth.
