Hennepin (Farmhouse Saison) from Brewery Ommegang
Rating: A
What a great beer, this is definitely going to be a regular purchase.
Appearance: Gold in color, not particularly clear. Good head and lace.
Smell: Earthy aroma, with some citrus and spicy hops.
Taste: So good, so balanced. Complex without being busy. I was expecting to find the "farmhouse" flavors to be a little more assertive, and that it would make this style more of an acquired taste, but I didn't find that to be true at all. It's not too sweet, like many Belgians tend to be. My new favorite Belgian-style ale, for sure.
Mouthfeel: Light body, not at all syrupy. Good carbonation. Finishes dry.
Drinkability: Paired with a meal of chicken, sauteed mushrooms, homemade creamed spinach, and gnocchi in a gorgonzola cream sauce, this was delightful. More please.
Serving type: bottle
