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.

This is a quality beer and something I'd serve often. However, it lacks in what I would call the true craft experience in that it seems to taste highly manufactured. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Thx to Dennis !

Head: white, quite large, creamy/foamy
Colour: hazy pale yellow
Smell: hops, yeasty and malty sweetness, reminds allot of a Tripel Karmeliet !
Taste: just your average little bit better made Belgian Blond ale ... nothing special just good but nothing special, craftbeer they say ?

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured a cloudy pale yellow with a huge nice white head, lots of lacing also. Taste is of fruit mostly combined with some wheat and sugar. Refreshing beer that can be a bit complex but at the same time goes down easy.

750 ml bottle - pours clear yellow with a medium soapy head. Aroma of cloves and malt. Full body with mild sweetness. Taste of tangerine and orange peel. Nice easy going beer, not too different from your average Belgian blond beer... Okay

Lots of co2, frothy white head. Lighter color with some yeast. Smooth creamy drink with clean finish. Wish there was a little more depth..seems like a great boat beer

Rating a beer, or any beverage, is necessarily subjective. I found this beer to be tart, bitter, and unpleasant, despite the previous ratings. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Got from the Whole Foods Market in Northridge Served in a Tulip Glass Appearance - pale straw like color. Hazy, with plenty of carbonation, and about a finger of moderately diminishing head Aroma- floral citrusy hops. Belgian candied yeast. Banana and spice Taste- fruits like banana,pears, and apples. Candied sugar and clove spice. Mouthfeel - light to medium bodied. Plenty of carbonation slight dry finish. Crisp! Overall- great example of the style that I would definitely recommend. Very refreshing

Above average saison that someone got for me because they thought Hennepin was referencing Hennepin county in Minneapolis MN
