Ommegang Hennepin

This Saison pours a cloudy gold with a thick 1 inch white meringue head. A decent amount of carbonation makes its way to the head. Yeasty esters with the usual orange, clove floral on the nose. Taste is spicy on the tongue up front and mellows to a fruity, floral finish. Very smooth with almost a dry champagne mouth feel. Dangerously easy to drink.

Bottle (33 cl), thanks rlgk, at Tre små rum, Göteborg.
Shady yellow color, small white head. Acidic and yeasty scent. Very moussy mouthfeel. Yeasty and spicy taste with alcohol. Low bitterness.

22oz bomber, purchased about 1 month ago. Golden orange pour, very cloudy, with a head that has a life of it’s own. This thing is 2.5 finger thick at least, very sudsy and crystalline in appearance. Has a very rocky, craggy top and leaves tons of sheet lacing. I’m giving this a 5 mostly for the head. Initial aromas of oranges, coriander, lemon peel, floral hops, honey, yeast and a slight hint of peaches. Fore is more of the same, with tons of fruity esters, honey, coriander and floral hops begging for attention. The back of the swallow brings a welcome sour peach kick that is pretty shocking at first but very pleasant and adds a lot of life to the beer. Medium bodied but light on the palate and very easy to quaff. I don’t really get any champagne like spritzy qualities from the carbonation or body of this beer. Finish is medium length, coriander and citrus fruit being the stars, then a sweet dose of honey and some funky yeast, and finally the floral hops round things up. Great beer.

Bottle. Yellow / orange colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet, alcohol, honey. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, honey, fruit, hop. Nice beer but there were a taste i don´t like in the beer.

750 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a medium white head. Aroma is yeast, honey and peaches. Flavor is like a spicy saison, bittersweet, fruity malt and yeast. Decent.

corked 750 ml bottle. pours a hazy yellow with a large billowy head. smells of lemon and spice. taste is similar with an added burst of alcohol. finish is dry and yeasty. feels very nice on the palate, kinda prickly at first but slick and smooth on the way down.
