Day 4- Beer 4 Hennepin, Ommegang Brewery

Since I visited the Fanatsy of Flight museum today I was inspired to hop in a jet and take a little sightseeing tour closer to home, a visit to Cooperstown New York and the Ommegang Brewery for a tast of Hennepin Farmhouise Saison, a fairly strong ale at 7.7% named after the first explorer to visit Niagara Falls,Father Louis Hennepin. Although a little cloudy it was crisp and flavourful. It produced a very fizzy head when poured that settled fairly quickly leaving a very effervesant and aromatic ale. It certainly did not have an overpowering taste like many stong ales probably due to its slight sweetness and citrus aromas. A great finish to a not so great day, weather-wise, here in Florida, a little cool and overcast. Overall rating 4 out of 5. I also gave a taste to my Daughter Kristal who is visiting from Canada and she loved it and commented that "it's not overpowering like many Belgian type ales". Wish I had bought a few more.
