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.

Some real funk here in the aroma with a distinct smell of marijuana. This beer is fine but the flavor is not that memorable. Had this a couple of times and dont think ill be coming back

ABV: 7.7% Calories: estimated at 150 C Volume: 12 fl oz Glass: Tulip Purchased at: Circle Liquors Super Saver, Pennington, NJ Price: $2.50 Consumed at: home Impression: A nice creamy yellow color, ends hazy in the pour due to style, bottle conditioning and large particles. A nice white head with good lace. Seems just a bit chemical or metallic in flavor. Usual fruity notes are missing from this Belgian style. Awash in oceanic carbonation. Reminds of champagne, but without the hit of alcohol. Flavor isn’t very forthcoming, but spiciness is there. Not a bad beer by any means, but it is mostly about texture, which is uncommon. I didn’t enjoy this very much. Aroma: 6 out of 10 Visuals: 3 out of 5 Taste: 6 out of 10 Palate: 4 out of 5 Overall: 14 out of 20

pale golden color. orange and coriander taste very similar to the hoegaarden type of beers. very smooth, but the dominance of fruits and spices would keep me from having more than one .

Draft at Stub & Herb’s. Pours a cloudy, yellow-orange body with generous white head. Aroma of malts, yeast, citrus, and a hint of hops. Medium-bodied and well-balanced. Flavors of yeast, wheat, with grapefruit, melon, and orange tones. Refreshing, crisp finish with a slight bitter citrus bite.

Bottle at Bishops Arms, Stockholm. Pours hazy light golden, almost yellowish, with a big rocky head. Hoppy nose with some cheese and strangely conceiled fruit.Tastes decidedly fruity and bitter. Well-carbonated and very refreshing.

I am a huge fan of the Ommegang Brewery, and while this one isn’t bad it isn’t as good as I had hoped it would be. Pours a decent gold with a white head. The first sip is quite pleasant but not as amazing as other brews. I enjoyed this beer and will try it again in the future.

Cloudy Golden color white foamy head. Malty aroma with yeast tones. Nice bubbly feel in mouth like chapagne. Sweet malt taste with slight hints of hops and yeast.

Clove and pear aroma with a chlorophenolic undertone. Sparkling amber, with a huge white head. Alternating flavors of fruit, grain, and phenols. Lemon grass finish. Dry, complex, amd balanced, but slightly tainted. Nicely crafted, but flawed production. Good candidate for a re-rate.
