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.

Thanks to rcasta. Drank it last nite at El Salvador’s beer session. Pour a light yellow with white head. Light bodied, subtle taste of fruits and yeast. Quite refreshing.

Bottle from Sindee’s in Portland, OR--Poured a deep orange-amber-golden thick body with a big round whitish head. Belgian yeastiness with spicy and sticky fruit esters. Fruity, hoppy, grassy, piny, sticky, full-on for real brew! Very nice!

Re-rating. On Tap at Stone Brewing World Bistro and gardens. Aroma is easters, spice, yeast, orange and banana. Pours golden with pretty clear rocky white head. Flavor begins spicy/citrus then hits the back of the throat dry and spicy, possibly from the hops. I couldn’t detect any malt in the nose or mouth, maybe it just me. Light to medium body with okay head retention, surprisingly no lacing formed on my glass. Throughout, in the nose mouth and throat, there is a nice hoppiness. Kind of surprising for a Saison. One of the best Saisons on the market! Would be close to perfect if there was some supporting malt.

Big pillowy/frothy white head, light gold cloudy hie, very good, crisp, nice to see this captured the style so well in New York, hint of citrus, farmhouse. Consistently NICE

Gorgeously frothy head that never recedes and unmistakeably Belgian yeasty bursts accompany this crisp golden ale -- we’ve arrived at Duvel v2. I know they call it a Saison, but for the life of me I can’t think of why. Immensely quaffable, but didn’t we already have Den Duvel?
