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.

Pours a hazy gold with a large head that fades to thin lacing. Smells of yeast with faint notes of citrus and spice. Taste is pleasant with mild fruit followed by a slightly bitter hop finish. A silky mouthfeel is broken up a bit by the carbonation. Very enjoyable.

Looks and tastes more like a wheat beer than a saison. Not too different from a Hoegaarden. Light hazy golden color with little head. Some spice and cloves and yeast flavors present, with a bit of a bite to the finish. A very enjoyable beer.

From a 12 oz bottle into a snifter. Pours a golden haze with an inch of head and no lacing. Smells like yeast and some cloves. Taste is smooth and yeasty. Banana notes and cloves are present and well blended. A good drinking saison that goes down smooth and tasty. A bit expensive but it’s of very good quality.

An old favorite! Thought I would try it again from a critical perspective. 12oz Bottle poured into trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with a floral bouquet. Thick frothy head. Nose is warm spices which linger through the slowly developing body of classic belgian floral notes balanced against a hoppy but full back bone. The finish is hoppy and lasts pelasantly long. Overall a wonderfully enjoyable beer that I’m sure I will purchase again and again.

Bottle from Sams. Really enjoyed this. Bright and hazy yellow with decent head. Malt, slight bitter, citrus, spice. Nice, complex saison flavors. Very nice!

bottle, pours hazy bright yellow with a medium frothy white head. Sweet lemon aroma. Very sweet with tons of sugary pale malt, thin bitterness and little sour saison character. Not balanced well and all really missing the style. Drinkable, but not a saison to me.

Pours cloudy yellow with a pillowy white head. Aroma is a little funky, belgian yeast and citrus fruit. Flavor is fruitier and sweeter than the aroma, with some spice as well. Complex flavors, very nice.
