My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Ommegang Hennepin

This is from Ommegang who I really enjoy.  I have never had a Saison but I bet it will be excellent.

Look, Pour, Smell - Frothy head, light yellow and orange, extra carbonated and extra hops, this one smells very crisp.

Taste - Crisp Belgian style, but with a wheat spice, probably all spice or maybe a little cinnamon.  This is a lighter beer which is nice, light mouth feel with a light residual hops taste.

Rating - 7
This being my first of this style is a really good step in the right direction. It tastes great, smells even better, and will probably impress your friends who don't really like "specialty" or "expensive" brews.
