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.

750ml bottle. Pours a nice pale golden yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma and flavor of citrus with a delicate hoppy backbone. A bit of candied sugar also hits the tongue and some nice carbonation too.

Pours opaque light apricot color with a pillowy white head that leaves a nice lacing behind as it dissipates. Aroma is citrus and spices. Light and refreshing lemon/citrus flavor with a small amount of spice (coriander & pepper) to give it a little kick. Nicely carbonated, enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a rocky white 2 finger head. Sweet musky nose, light fruits, zesty spiciness. Malty backbone with lemon, clove, and apple skin to round this one out.

Pours transparent gold, small white head. Nose is sweet, almost lager-ish with sweet corn syrup, but fighting underneath are orange, yeast, spice, and some nice dark fruit and alcohol. More spice and yeast in the flavor, better than the nose, but also something synthetic. Palate is moderate, spritzy... middle of the road. Ok beer, but not a lot of saison here, not a lot of anything really.

Bottle. What a wonderful brew. Fruity orange aroma. Hazy yellow body, small white head. Flavor is full of malt, some yeast, and a nicely blended fruitiness. Spicy finish. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a three finger massive white head with great retention. Aromas of spice, vanilla, lemon, yeast. Taste is effervescent with some sour apple and white pepper in the finish. Watery on the palate. 7.7 is nicely hidden.

750 ml bottle: pours tawny straw yellow with slight haze and elegant white head. Striking pucker just from aroma. Mouthfeel is prickly with lemony flavors, mineral and some yeast funk and pepper. Flavors mute a bit and remind of a golden ale as it warms.
