hopIQ take
Aenne if you want restraint and drinkability,
Ommegang Hennepin if you want complexity and weight.
Both are true saisons with identical bitterness, but they're playing different games. Aenne leans into the style's historical lightness—it's a working beer. Hennepin flexes its higher alcohol and Belgian yeast character, turning the style into something richer.

Aenne
Aenne drinks like it knows exactly what it is: a straightforward, honest saison that doesn't overthink things. You get clean, peppery yeast notes and a whisper of spice without any fruit bombs or wild fermentation theatrics. The 6.5% ABV means it disappears fast—in the best way. It's the kind of beer that tastes better the more you drink, not the other way around.
Ommegang Hennepin
Hennepin announces itself immediately with a dense, creamy head and fuller mouthfeel than you'd expect from a saison. The higher ABV (7.7%) adds a subtle warmth that pushes the Belgian yeast character into stone fruit and clove territory. It's still dry and refreshing, but there's real substance here—this beer has architecture. You actually notice it in your glass.
