Bottle. Light berry fruitiness, bit of creaminess too. Taste is great, easy drinking, strawberry milkshake, initial nice bitterness. Finish has the strawberry again. Pleasant yeastiness with the sediment added. Very enjoyable.

Cloudy orange with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma with peach and orange, along with mild spice. Dry, fruity and spicy flavour with a medium bitter finish. Clearly De La Senne house character.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up in Brussels, at Malt Attackes. Pours totally clear gold with a modest, foamy white head. Fun snout, some apple notes, green apple, Belgian yeast, white grape, tangerine, wheat, subtle funk. Light sweet flavour with a bit of bitter apple peel, more wheat flakes, dried citrus fruits, grapefruit. Light in body with lively, massaging carbonation. Great balance in the finish, with more grapefruit and white grape, a little barnyard funk, some old pale wood, melon, grass, Belgian yeast. Overall, nice depth, and really drinkable. Great beer.

Bottle at home. Bit hazy orange golden with big fluffy off white head. Sweaty Brett up front but also soft fruity pineapple Brett and light fruity hops. Hmmm yeah nice tropical stuff here with some mango and peach. Light dry grains and spicy yeast, a hint of fresh baked baguette and dry grain husks, but also some creamy dough. Light sweet and almost medium bitter. Under medium bodied with quite some carbonation. Really really tasty for a 4% abv beer, I could drink this all day.

Good dose of house yeast and not a whole lot else, but makes for a great beer. Orange hazy pour. Light sweet and crisp finish like Pringles.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw, hops, malt, and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and fruit, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle in the garden, 11th June 17. Pours light straw in colour, massive progressive head. Aroma is yeast, some sharpness, malt, citrus and pine. Taste is refreshing not overly yeasty, citrus, pine sap. Liked it.

Bottle at Lilla Barkarby. Golden with a white head. Aroma of funk, brett, citrus and floral hops. Similar taste but weaker. Light and with a fairly dry finish.

Bottle at Gollem. Collab of Senne with an Italian craft brewery I never heard of, apparently a Bretted saison. Egg-white, thick, frothy head, tightly lacing, over a lightly hazy, deep ’old gold’ coloured beer with olive green hue, misty with sediment. Aroma of fresh wormwood leaves, hay, buttercups and other field flowers, light banana, lemon-scented hand soap (weirdly), dough, orange zest, apricot, minerals, ’Bretty urine’, wet leather, damp straw. Crisp, fruity onset, touch of banana among peach and gooseberry notes, smooth and bit soapy mouthfeel, medium carbo, bready malt middle, lots of ’dimly’ spicy and softly sourish graininess from the spelt, floral finish with even an unexpected touch of lavender or violets, earthy and adequately bittering, bit peppery, with retronasal floral and Bretty notes (hay, old urine but vaguely so). A rural saison-like but cleverly constructed ’wild’ beer unmistakably carrying the Senne quality stamp, with an unusual, lavender- and even lemon-like aromatic touch to it. Nice.
