Beer No. 57 – Ommegang Hennepin
I keep a bit of everything in the house because you never know when a summer craving will come a little early.
STYLE: Saison / Farmhouse Ale
ABV: 7.7%
LOOK: Less than yellow, refreshing. Ideal one-finger head that doesn’t resist a subtle sip.
NOSE: It won’t shine here. And that’s OK because that rather misses the point. Loafy and dry.
MOUTH: White pepper, nonfat butter, bitter salad greens. It’s not – memorable. On the front, too much rind and not enough zest. On the back, a quiet lagerish coat.
