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.

taste of spring, very fizzy, lots of wheat. Hay, and apples, too. Barnyards and blankets. Very refreshing, yet very warming. A great beer to share with the family. I definitely will buy more. Bottl;e from Sunset Corners, Miami, Florida.

A light citrus fruit aroma with earthy notes. Pours out a light gold with a persistent small bright white head. The more pungent yeast aroma is a constant through the aroma and flavor. Body is light and smooth with more sour citrus notes. The earthy yeast leaves a unique flavor on the palate.

Pours a hazy gold with a large head that fades to thin lacing. Smells of yeast with faint notes of citrus and spice. Taste is pleasant with mild fruit followed by a slightly bitter hop finish. A silky mouthfeel is broken up a bit by the carbonation. Very enjoyable.

Looks and tastes more like a wheat beer than a saison. Not too different from a Hoegaarden. Light hazy golden color with little head. Some spice and cloves and yeast flavors present, with a bit of a bite to the finish. A very enjoyable beer.

From a 12 oz bottle into a snifter. Pours a golden haze with an inch of head and no lacing. Smells like yeast and some cloves. Taste is smooth and yeasty. Banana notes and cloves are present and well blended. A good drinking saison that goes down smooth and tasty. A bit expensive but it’s of very good quality.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2010 An old favorite! Thought I would try it again from a critical perspective. 12oz Bottle poured into trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with a floral bouquet. Thick frothy head. Nose is warm spices which linger through the slowly developing body of classic belgian floral notes balanced against a hoppy but full back bone. The finish is hoppy and lasts pelasantly long. Overall a wonderfully enjoyable beer that I’m sure I will purchase again and again.
