One of the finer beers I have tried. Very drinkable with nice flavor.

A friend, My Dad and I bought about 20 beers one night and had a taste test going on. Hennepin was the first one we tried and we have enjoyed it since. Great head that seems to stay until the last drop. Was in NYC and saw they had Hennepin in 12OZ bottles. Couldn’t resist.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2007 Hennepin pours a hazy, golden color with a nice cloud-like white head. Nice amounts of hops and lively carbonation while being lightly sweet (citrus flavor) and bitter; refreshing and slightly spicy; One of my favorites, very tasty and a good paring with Thanksgiving - try it.

Really great beer! First time I had this, I was blown away. I kick myself in the ass as I was in Cooperstown, NY in August, 05, and hadn’t heard of Ommegang! ARRGGHH!!

My opinion the best Belgian Ale made in the United States. The appearance is a good copper color, the flavor is incredible which will turn your palate upside down, overall fantastic, you won’t mind paying the $12 a bottle or up to $28 at some restaurants.

Another slam dunk by Ommegang. Soft, carbonated, bitter, with a flash of funk indicating the saison. 11/1/2008.

Reading through the comments here, I’m amused by the (apparently negative) appraisals: ’Very fizzy, acidic palate,’ ’rather musty,’should do something about the yellowish golden color,’The nose is a little like white wine, but...’ Hey, I bet Ommegang’s not sweatin’ it. I’ve tasted five or six classic saisons, and--blasphemy!--this is the best.

750ml bottle. Clear bright lemon yellow with a massive meringue-like white head. The lacing left as the head recedes is incredible; beautiful designs covering the entire glass. Very fruity spicy nose brimming with lemons, peaches, apricots, vanilla, oranges, pepper and coriander. Taste: lemons, honey, sugar cookies, bananas, peaches and oranges. This American version of a Belgian ale has a lively carbonation , a rich creamy mouthfeel and a smooth buttery aftertaste. Absolutely delicious.
