Ommegang Hennepin: 23

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 23

The color is a cloudy golden. It has a crisp aroma of citrus and bread. But it is a tad faint.

It's a bit sweet up front. It then transitions to a doughy bread consistency from the yeast. Finally, at the finish it goes sharp and bitter. Definitely lemon and hops. It's a very interesting combination. It would be great on a hot day as it will cut through your thirst. But it would do equally well with bread and cheese. Also interesting is that it is 7.7% alcohol but I don't get a hint of it at all. A very well crafted brew.
