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.

Trocken herber, schnell bitter werdender Antrunk. Nur milde Malzaromen, die Bitterkeit bleibt dagegen stark, geringfügig hopfig. Fehlerfrei aber für ein Vienna etwas langweilig. 9/8/8/8/11/8

0.33 l bottle from 'Holy Craft Beer Store', best before October 2021. Hazy, dark brownish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, light beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and some citrus. Moderately sweet, gently bitter, slightly fruity taste of caramel, nuts, citrus and traces of pine, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally roasty finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Interesting Dunkles, fairly hoppy, just in balance. Not quite what I have expected but a pleasant brew nevertheless.

Intensiver, leider ziemlich süßer Hopfenbeginn. Karamellig, geringe Bitterkeit, alkoholisch, unsüffig. Süß brotig, weich, quasi keine Herbe, eher trockener Abgang. Meh... 11/8/5/6/11/6

0.33 l bottle from 'Holy Craft Beer Store', best before December 2020. Hazy, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, sourish, rather fruity aroma of lemon, blackberry, cassis and some rosehip. Gently sour, quite fruity, a little spicy taste of blackberry, rosehip, hibiscus and some lemon, followed by a short, gently tart, even slightly minerally finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very well-balanced, refreshing Sour Ale, really quaffable. Good!

Thx to Zinni for this bottle. Almost clear, dark golden color and a nice white head. Fruity nose, hints of something earthy/floral. Taste starts tar, nearly sour. Hoppy, very citric. Lemon finish.
