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.

Cloudy yellow pour with soap sudsy head and a little lacing. Smell is spicy and fruity, and taste is much the same Some understated hoppiness. A little watery on the finish makes this a fairly unsatisfying beer, but you could do worse.

Pours a nice golden color with a sticky, thick, dish soap suds/divinity type of head. The head leaves fantastic lacing with big clumps of head on the sides of the glass. Aroma has a slightly skunky hallertau hops note with a bit of soured fruit and a really nice farm funk. Flavor is fantastic with a great sourness melded very well with a farm funk, light lemon citrus, pils grainy flavors and a light vanilla at the end. The beer feels very smooth with a great density for the style. Overall I love this brew, I wish the funk was just a bit stronger but as a whole the flavors mixed well with the aroma to make a fabulous experience.

What a fantastic head this one arrived with! At least five-plus fingers worth of fomay white to start off some truly marvelous lacing. The body was a cloudy yellow-orange hue. Aroma was hops and spices, along with some undercurrents of bananas and bread. Taste - very much the same as the nose. Mouthfeel was smooth and pleasing. The finish was satisfying, thick, and sweet without being cloying.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with thick white head. Aroma is sweet sugar that is balanced with a spicy pepper. Flavor is light caramel/vanilla notes that aren’t over powering because of the tart apple clove offsetting it. Body is light with high carbonation. I really loved this beer and it got me into the Saison style.

My first saison and I enjoyed it a lot. This was a hazy yellow with a white head, leaving a nice web lace. Sweet aroma with some spice showing through. A medium body with great taste. An east drinker with a nice crisp finish.

Smells of summer, Candy, Stone Fruit and some spice. Pours a nice mellow yellow with a good white head. Light medium Body with ample Carbonation that makes it very refreshing. Very smooth, crisp and Clean Finish. This almost like a braeburn Apple to me, Tart, Sweet, Sour and very crisp..I can drink this beer a lot.. Well Done
