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.

(Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy yellow with a smallish head. Strongly corianded-orange-peel-spicy, very witbierish aroma. Flavor is a hybrid between wit and saison, with yeast, orange-peel, some grainy malt. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Not really a Saison, but definitely not bad as a beer. Reminds me of La Chouffe.

Hazy bright yellow with a towering beautiful merangue head that stays forever. Light citrus aroma, soft spices and wheat esters in the aroma. Velvety smooth mouthfeel with the fine carbonation interplaying with the soft malts perfectly. Lemon sherbet, orangepeel, wheaty and yeasty and spicey, with a long dry peppery finish. Absolutely awesome!

Bottle 750 ml. Hazy blonde with foamy white head. Aroma of jasmine, lillies, thyme, verbena, and a touch of honey. Flavors are herbal and spicy including white pepper. Dry, light, and refreshing, Solid beer.

Corked 750 ml bottle. Pours light pilsner-type yellow, with a little haze, under an airy white head. Smell shows slight tartness to my stuffy nose, Taste has a bit of sour lemon and green apple up front, backed by some European hop spiciness. A bit of biscuit dough in the malts. My label lists the abv twice: 7.5% and 8.5%; either way, I don’t really feel the alcohol as I’m drinking it. After pouring, it’s nice and fizzy, but settles down quickly. Yeah, as a matter of fact, its texture is very much like a champagne. Bright tartness and dryness stays with me through the whole bottle.

On tap at Track 84 in Warwick, RI. One of my favorite American Saisons. Pours yellowish gold with a large fluffy white head. Nose of citrus, spice, and funk. Funk very prominent in the taste. Finish is citrus and spice. Clean. Very nice beer.

5/8/08 - cloudy in color, slightly sour in taste. Ommegang makes some great beers, but this is not one of them.

Hoppy and floral but on the milder side. Good beer. Light and bubbly mouthfeel with a clean finish.
