Belgian-style farmhouse saison

Inspired by the traditional rustic brews of Belgium, our iconic American farmhouse saison is charmingly complex but eminently drinkable.

Artfully spiced with coriander, ginger, orange peel and grains of paradise, its champagne-like effervescence leads to a crisp, dry finish, delighting discerning drinkers everywhere.

While delicious on its own, Hennepin pairs remarkably well with a variety of foods, complementing shellfish, barbecue, cheeses, charcuterie, and a wide range of spicy fare.

Bottle from West Side. Pours a hazy gold with 2 fingers of pillowy foam that linger. Classic saison nose with light citrus, wheat and faint grass. Silky smooth body and mouthfeel. Lightly sweet, but with some peppery bitterness. Peppery finish with some light grassy hops. Way better than I expected. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hennepin on 16 Nov 2016 at 19:55 - Score: 8. Original review text: Classic saison nose. Silky smooth body and mouthfeel.

Poured into a pilsner showing well filtered neon yellow with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows a lot of bready malts and Belgian yeast influence. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Strong alcohol bite immediately becomes quite apparent and very unwelcome for this style. Flavors of strong Belgian yeasty notes with a light sweetness throughout and a complete lack of malt backbone.

On tap in pint glass at Cask and Vine. Appearance is hazy-to-cloudy light yellow without sparkle, finger-width white head without lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast, fruity esters. Taste is nice fruity esters, Belgian yeast with some citrus. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish like taste. Overall, a solid representation of the style.

355ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a huge, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Fruity, hoppy aroma with citrus, yeast, coriander and alcohol. Sweet, hoppy, citrus flavour of orange peel with yeast, coriander, honey and a hint of alcohol, ending on a slightly tart, dry, bitter note. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not bad.
