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.

Smells skunky right out of the bottle. Might be a good pilsener? No its a Saison; damn! Pours half foam, light bubbleing in the glass. Tight nit pure large white foam head. Aroma of pilsenser hops, Cascade, Czeck? and malt. Smells pretty good actually to my moravian nose. Taste is really good. Mild, mildy sweet, malt/hop, well blended character, this beer does not dissapoint. Refreshing palate, mild and smooth. I would buy this again.

Bottle. Unclear golden colour with a nice little head. Aroma of spices, diacetyl, citrus and yeast. Flavour of yeast, spices very tasty and nice.

This beer is another well done beer by the brewery. A bit hoppy, but not too much to overpower the flavor of the subdued fruit and nut flavors. Nice.

The color is pretty standard, cloudy orange with a thin head along the top and not much laceing along the sides of the glass. The nose is a bit sour with loads of spice. The initial sip was full of lemon, it was like biting a lemon that has been soaked in white rum with a crisp finish. As you drink it the brew itself is really smooth with lemon and other light fruits that complement it. The carbonation is really sutle in the finish but you can still detect the presace of hop acidity.

Pours a pale lemon color with a little bit of honey highlights. Head is medium sized, soapy and white. Nose is sour, of grapes and white wine, some vinegar, and a bit of spice. Taste is like champagne esque, with a try and sour finish. Pretty good beer with a lingering finish.

Look of beer is disappointing, pale yellow with a head that disappears like a soda’s head. Smell is spicy and floral. Taste is spicy with strong warming presence of alcohol.

Very light in color, huge head. Had it in a tulip glass which helped. Fruity. This is not my favorite style but it was good. Reminds me a lot of Deus.

750 pours a crystal clear yellow with a large sticky head and some lace. The aroma is of some wild yeast, lemon, and some spice. The flavor is middle of the spectrum malt, some sweetness, lemon here and there, some funk - not enough, some hops, sour in the finish and linger. The palate is nice and cleansing and crisp. Overall, I’m sort of underwhelmed by this.
