Funny - I love saisons and I love Ommegang, but I found Hennepin to be mildly underwhelming.
same with me rob, here is my RB review
"750ml bottle split with the KW tasting group. bottle from a trade with thecheeseman. golden pour with a big white head. pale malt nose with some yeast. no brett no funk. easy drinking belgian blone ale is all you have here. an ok summer brew, hides the alchohol well."
Starting early for the long weekend and having a Lagunitas WTF. Classed as an American Strong Ale on BA, think it's more of a hoppy, but balanced brown ale myself. Very, very drinkable!!

Black Oak on the other hand is... ?
Dupont is basically THE Saison for me, though there are some high-quality brews that seem a lot milder in character.
Drinking Trafalgar Cherry Ae - English style Special Bitter, the cherry adds a hint of body and sweetness and underscores the alefruit. Some worty grain in the top of the palate, noble hops in dry-sweet finish.

I might've just had a super fresh bottle, but I was getting LOTS of citrusy lemon flavours, some pleasant nutty aromas, and one of the spiciest, most refreshing mouthfeels I've ever encountered. It drank way too easy for a 7.7% brew!
