Brewers Description of this Summer Saison:
“Ale with spices: Grains of paradise, ginger, coriander and sweet orange peel. Hearty and rustic golden ale. Full-bodied, hoppy and crisp.”
The dark hazy orange Hennepin produces a big head with an aroma of bread, spices, and malt. Tasting is instantly sweet with elevated carbonation resulting in a an awakening mouthfeel. The beer has a malt base with nice complexity. There can be multiple perceived flavors which increase the allure of Hennepin. Orange, coriander, and sweetbread appear before the spicy earthy finish.
The medium body and spices of Hennepin prevent it from being an optimum daytime beer. However, it is a great selection come 5:00 and temperatures start to decline.
