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.

3/11/08 notes: From bottle at Brewery tasting. Poured a pilsener-like light golden color with a huge white head. Quite vibrant. Mouthfeel is quite thin with pearly carbonation. What came through to me were two flavors: coriander/spices and a champagne-like fruity sweetness. Overall, quite interesting, but not a beer I would go back to often because of the carbonation, light palate, and sweetness. Maybe it’s the style.

On tap at the Neighborhood. Hazy yellow with a nice, white fluffy head. Big sweet aroma, of fruit - mainly bananas - cloves, other spices, wheat, and hops. Big taste, of hops, fruit, spices - a bit sharp. Lingering sharp spiciness. Very tasty.

Pours to golden body with THICK white head that lingers for several minutes. Not a great beer but definitely worth your money.

750ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) shared by JK54B - thanks!
Hazy pale orange, small persistent tight head. Sharp sour fruity aroma - citrus. Soft palate, pleasant carbonation. Tangy hops, but a little cardboardy. Sharp citrus too, and apple, but also some alcohol. Passable saison, but not great.
