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.

ellolovey (266) - Georgia, USA - APR 19, 2013
12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, apples, bubblegum, and yeast. Nice carbonation and very refreshing. Taste has a nice spice, citrus hops, yeast, clover, and cinnamon. Has a nice slightly dry crisp finish. A great session beer. I could drink this all day on a nice spring day.

Pours a pale straw colour with a modest white head. Aroma is of grainy bread, fruit and bubble gum. A little mustiness in the nose that isn’t unappealing. Taste follows the nose with bready malt , fruit, a slight tartness, and light spiciness maybe ginger?mouthfeel was quite dry with high carbonation but rich and silky almost soapy how I like it. Overall a delicious beer I would happily drink all summer.

Pours hazy yellow with off who’re head. Nice spicy grainy aroma with Belgian fruity mustiness. Nice bright golden Belgian flavours with a modest amount of wheat shining through. Crisp fruits with lingering grainy Belgian farm house yeast. Very nice brew.

climberbob (73) - Virginia, USA - APR 12, 2013
Bottle. Lots of carbonation w a huge white head that produces a nice grassy aroma. It is crisp and light w notes of malt and a dry, slightly sour finish. Not a particularly strong or overly funked Saison but still a decent beer.

Scipio (490) - Palatine, Illinois, USA - APR 11, 2013
Pours a bright yellow that is very carbonated and hazy, with a full, foamy white head. Aroma is Belgain yeast, spices, lemon, and cloves. The taste is very Belgian as well. Lots of yeast and spices, along with a good amount of lemon, some orange, and banana. There are some sour notes here. Aftertaste is heavy lemon and spice. Medium in body, with a somewhat rough, yet bubbly texture. Lots of fizzy carbonation. There is some resemblance to a champagne like mouthful. Good stuff.

Pours a clear lemon yellow colour. Thick white head that lasts. This smells more like a blonde abbey style beer than a saison. Yeasty upfront, some citrus, then bready malts. Taste has a crisp lemon note followed by soft malty flavour. Enjoyable and moreish. Really reminds me of leffe royale!

philipmeese (53) - Rowayton, Connecticut, USA - APR 10, 2013
Corked bomber. Pours a clear pale yellow with a very active visible carbonation rising from the very bottom to a healthy white head. Aroma a light, yeasty bread with citrus notes. Flavor carried by a full body - salty to start, then citrus in the middle with a soft tart aftertaste. Should be a nice session beer.
