Ommegang Hennepin

12 oz bottle. Pours a orange amber that is cloudy with a rocky foamy quickly disappearing head. Nose is slight sour funky with a nice yeast underpinning. Some light citrus and hay also. Taste is way to strong on the alcohol. Thats all you taste up front. Creamy body with a lot of yeast and a lightly hoppy and lightly bitter finish of spice and a little funk. If it weren’t for the heavy alcohol note this would be a winner. As a western take on a saison though, this works pretty well. Lingering notes of Caramel and Vanilla and a very slight sour note redeem this one. Not too bad.

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a foamy head. Lots of lacing from start to finish. Hop aroma hith a hint of yeast. Thick abd creamy to the palate. flavor is hoppy at first with a sweet finish.

Poured a hazy golden color with thick white head. Aroma is sweet malt, citrus and yeast. Flavor is light, sweet and spicy on tongue. Overall a great brew and the high abv. is a bonus.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow/gold with a big head and funky, spicy aromas. Flavor has kind of a buttery sweetness with some grass, a bit of funk and yeast. Doesn’t really go in any particular direction, though. It is solid and all, but boring.

Pours with a raging head; very pale and hazy yellow. Aroma is of pilsener, spicy hops, and yeasty goodness. Very smooth and enjoyable. This is a great summer session beer. Not quite as good as Saison DuPont, but far more affordable.

This was a pretty enjoyable beer for me. I thought it was nice and citrusy, as a saison should be, but also had a bit of phenolic character, which I thought even with saison yeasts will age out. There is no hop character, as would be expected and it is a fairly big beer but does not present itself that way. Shared a large corked bottle with some friends and they enjoyed the beer also. Definately more of a sipping beer and would not make a session beer at all.

Brewed in the USA, Courtesy of The Captain, thanks Mark. Pours a hazy yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is of citrus, fruits, and mild hops. Taste of spices and fruit with a lingering tangy aftertaste. Not bad, but not my favorite from Ommegang.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a hazy light golden color with a large fluffy white head and decent lacing. The aroma has a nice orange citrus quality, moderately sweet malt, spicey, yeast, and floral hops. The flavor is mildly sweet pale malt, slight orange citrus, yeast, spicey, and light biscuity. There is a slight bitterness to the finish. The alcohol makes an appearance from time to time. Solid offering
