Bruxellensis is refermented for several months with a wild Brettanomyces yeast originated in Brussels. Amber with copper reflections, its fruity attack (pineapple, red fruits) is supported by hop flavours in dry hopping, and by complex, almost animal notes of old leather. It then develops a rich malty note with biscuit accents and a persistent fruity/candied flavour. Its finale is dry and bitter, its character is unique.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of fruits, Belgian yeast, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit, malt, spices, and Belgian yeast, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours cloudy amber with a big stable white head. Aroma is brett, stables, pig, sour candy. Body is decently funky and strongly bitter, with a strong but velvety carbonation. Generally dominated by these 3 impressions, flavours are rare. Dry palate, with a lingering bitterness. A thirst quencher indeed.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a golden copper with a full 2 fingers of soapy foam that lingers. Wonderful Brett forward nose: tropical fruit, raspberry, earth and hay. Fruit-forward Brett strain. Clean and crisp. Peppercorn, hay all kinds of nice fruity esters. Great carbonation throughout. De La Senne can do no wrong.

At Het Pand, Ghent. Pours hazy orange with a big, frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains yeast, bitter hops, citrus, orange, some spices, leather and pineapple. It tastes light, almost medium fruity/yeasty sour and light to medium spicy bitter. Dry, hoppy finish. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Surprisingly quenching.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 16-07.2016/bbe 16.07.2018) im 2017-12 getrunken. Dieses Ale hat im Aroma eine deutliche Säure einer Brett die mit dem Hopfenaroma eine spannende Kombination ergibt. Am Gaumen steht Hopfen und Brett auch wieder im Vordergrund, aber sehr harmonisch. Dazu kommt eine leckere Grapefruitnote die ich sehr mag. Ein ein feines Sommerbier mit einem kräftigen Abgang. 8/4/7/4/9 Aus der Flasche (bottled 16-07.2016/bbe 16.07.2018) im 2020-03 getrunken. Brasserie de la Senne hatte dieses stark hopfenbetonte Ale mit Brettanomyces gebraut. Doch durch sein Alter haben die Brettanomyces dieses Ale deutlich verändert. Hier ist keine Säure mehr und die Hopfenbitterkeit ist deutlich schwächer geworden. Stattdessen hat dieses bronzefarbende Ale eine ähnliche Champangner-Hefenote mit Farmhouse-Stil bekommen. Echt edel und ein tolles Sommerbier. 9/4/8/4/11
