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.

330ml bottle. Clear, brown-ish, dark ruby colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Rather weak, sweet-ish and minimally grainy, dark and caramel malty aroma, very light, yeasty fruity overtones, hints of chocolate, a nuttily touch, whiffs of cherry. Taste is dark, chocolately and caramel malty, hints of malt lozenge, milk chocolate, a touch of caramel, whiffs of cherry, a minimally nuttily touch, some hop bitterness, very light metallic overtones. Minimally creamy, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation. A bit simple and cautious - so-so.

0.33 l bottle from 'Holy Craft' (online), best before May 2022. Hazy, dark reddish brown with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, orange peel and light nuts. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, a bit fruity taste of caramel, chocolate, nuts and light raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter, a little roasty finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Alright.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark orange/gold with a lovely white head. Aroma of citrus fruits (mostly oranges), pine and resin. Taste of those fruits mentioned above, honey and resin. Bold bitterness. Medium carbonation. Just ok but then again my bottle is probably too close to its expiration date.

Bottle. Cloudy dark orange featuring a massive white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and herbal hops. Taste follows aroma. Herbal bitterness. Medium carbonation. Anaemic. I‘ll cut this some slack for being so close to its BBE but I highly doubt a fresher bottle would result in a substantially higher rating.

Süffiger, mild süß-hefiger Malzbeginn. Trocken herb, zunehmend malzig, etwas gewürzig. Das Malzaroma nimmt weiter zu, erreicht aber erst zum Ende die erwartete Intensität. Langer Abgang, okay. 11/8/9/9/12/9
