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.

Bottle. Decent big head. Hazy lighter gold. Lots of melon in nose. Tastes funkier and more farmhouse than aroma advertised. Hoppy at first with a melon finish.

Smells sharp and spicey. Pours a very fizzy foamy golden yellow color with a giant white head. Very light and crisp flavor, very fizzy with a hint of that bitter ommegang flavor to it. Very nice and refreshing.

Pours a cloudy golden yellow with about a finger of very quickly dissipating stark white head. A strong odor of citrus and spice. A strong taste of citrus with a bitter aftertaste. Very effervescent, but the taste is a little more bitter than the other saisons I’ve tasted. not quite as good as I had anticipated.

A nice and lively American Saison. Pale Golden body, very clear. Definite candy sugar notes. I’m not totally sure what everyone else is drinking, but there is distinct hoppiness to this. Quite effervescent on the tongue and pleasant hop bitterness all the way through. Would definitely be very nice on a summer day. Oddly, I read the description after my rating and would say that I definitely agree. Very nice rendition.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy, golden body with a small, white head. Smell: Aroma of pale malts, candi sugar, spice, some bread dough and a faint, faroff fruitiness. Taste: Light pale maltiness, a touch of soft wheat, and a surprisingly bit candy sweetness - much more than I’m looking for, really. Splash of sweetened peach juice, a squirt of lemon. Hardly any hop flavor or bitterness. Small pinch of spice. Brief hint of metal. Sour yeastiness on the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Argh, I’ve been shot in the face with disappointment.

From a bottle poured a hazy straw color with a good amount of head. Nice mild flavor sweet/hoppy with a solid finish.

Corked bottle. Pale blonde color. Flowery aroma with fresh citrus. Soft hopbitter, flowery and citric flavor. Hints of Poire Williams. You can smell and taste a touch of Duvel.

12oz bottle. Pour is very nice, hazy honey golden color with a nice white head atop with strong lacing. Nose is mild spices, hops, and slight citrus. Body is crisp, lively and medium/thin. Notes of alcohol, mild citrus, yeast, and spice. Somewhat bland actually.
