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.

ABV: 7.7% Calories: estimated at 150 C Volume: 12 fl oz Glass: Tulip Purchased at: Circle Liquors Super Saver, Pennington, NJ Price: $2.50 Consumed at: home Impression: A nice creamy yellow color, ends hazy in the pour due to style, bottle conditioning and large particles. A nice white head with good lace. Seems just a bit chemical or metallic in flavor. Usual fruity notes are missing from this Belgian style. Awash in oceanic carbonation. Reminds of champagne, but without the hit of alcohol. Flavor isn’t very forthcoming, but spiciness is there. Not a bad beer by any means, but it is mostly about texture, which is uncommon. I didn’t enjoy this very much. Aroma: 6 out of 10 Visuals: 3 out of 5 Taste: 6 out of 10 Palate: 4 out of 5 Overall: 14 out of 20

22oz bomber. Pours cloudy yellow, good amount of airy head. More lacing than a pair of Jordan’s...! Head dissipates quickly. Aroma of a hefeweizen, taste is a bit different. Creamy, maybe some vanilla, citrus fruit. Distinct finish that I can’t put my finger on. This type of beer isn’t my favorite, but this one tastes pretty damn good.

Pours a hazy apricot color from the bomber with an eruption of frothy off-white foam that leaves graffiti-like lacing. Smells of banana and yeast, almost like a hefe, but tastes of cream, orange peel, straw, hops, and mild vanilla. Finshes with a little copper and alcohol. An interesting brew to say the least.

12 oz bottle. Pours a orange amber that is cloudy with a rocky foamy quickly disappearing head. Nose is slight sour funky with a nice yeast underpinning. Some light citrus and hay also. Taste is way to strong on the alcohol. Thats all you taste up front. Creamy body with a lot of yeast and a lightly hoppy and lightly bitter finish of spice and a little funk. If it weren’t for the heavy alcohol note this would be a winner. As a western take on a saison though, this works pretty well. Lingering notes of Caramel and Vanilla and a very slight sour note redeem this one. Not too bad.

Poured a hazy golden color with thick white head. Aroma is sweet malt, citrus and yeast. Flavor is light, sweet and spicy on tongue. Overall a great brew and the high abv. is a bonus.
