Description
In Mönchengladbach-Waldhausen, genau auf der Quelle des Gladbachs steht das ehemalige Sudhaus der Brauerei Gebrüder Hensen. Gegründet im Jahre 1793 wurden bis in die 70er Jahre an gleicher Stelle die Biere der traditionsreichen Brauerei Gebrüder Hensen gebraut.
Dem allgemeinen Brauereisterben in Deutschland geschuldet, stellte man die Produktion Mitte der 70er Jahre ein.
Anfang 2015 erkannten wir, dass der Stadt Mönchengladbach ein neues Bier gutstehen würde.
Schnell fassten wir den Entschluss dies zu ändern: Das Projekt Hensen Brauerei war geboren.

0.33 l bottle from 'Holy Craft Beer Store', best before November 2022. Clear, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly malty, moderately fruity-floral aroma of honey, dried apricot and some quince. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity-floral taste of honey, lemon peel, some dried apricot and light straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very well-balanced, easily drinkable Heller Bock, not too sweet and nicely hoppy but still quite classic.

Brown colour with lasting head. It's got quite a grassy taste which is not so nice. Too carbonated.

Bottle: Deep golden to copper coloured, hazy, smaller stable white head, moderate sweet-bitter fruity-malty aroma with yeasty-worty traces, piney hops and a little booze in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied, a bit tart; slightly lingering sweet malty finish with returning worty traces and a delicate bitterness in the aftertaste. Decent Bock...
