Hennepin poured a hazy, golden yellow color with a huge, frothy, white head.  The aroma has ripe green apples, a lot of yeast, and a little funkiness.  The body is crisp, with some light spices, and bananas.  There are a noticeable amount of hops that give the beer a nice dryness to complement the abundance of flavors.  There is a lot of carbonation in this beer and the alcohol is faintly noticeable.  The finish has a lingering tanginess and the carbonation dies out which is a nice touch.  There is some hanging lace left on the glass.  Overall, this is a phenominal beer.  The aroma and finish are nice and the body is light on the palate, yet is complex and has a nice profile.  Every beer fan should have a Hennepin during the warm summer months. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
