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.

Bottle picked up from Die Bierothek® München and consumed at home Attenkirchen, Saturday 14th March 2020, we moved here one year ago this weekend! (tomorrow to be exact) we're listening to Balthazar - Fever We're making Spice Marinated Beef Kebabs, Aubergine Rolls and I was going to make an Ice Cream but we'll have that tomorrow now. Copper in colour with a sticky white head. Toffee prominent, malty, sweet but not too sweet, soft carbonation, it's got a bitterness but it is not overly bitter. In terms of fruit it is mostly citrus. Good.

On tap at Kraftpaule, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out gentle earthy hops and a thin toasted malt backbone. Flavour has a little tartness to it, with restrained earthy hops, and toasted malt. Not much depth or body here, but it's alright.

On tap at Bräugier. Cloudy golden brown, yeasty aroma. Great caramel flavor with a bit of astringency, almost rye notes, a good Altbier. It feels good in the tummy.
