#850 BE beer. 33 cl. bottle split with Kraddel. Obtained in a trade with tderoeck, cheers. Similar label to #1 & #2 – after many years of only #1 vaguely existing, the series appears to be quite alive & kicking these days. Hazy golden orange with a BIG white head. Nose is funky, touch citrus cleaning agent, strongly herbal, wild floral, dandelions,… Taste is strongly funky, bitter, wild floral, strongly bitter hops in the back, herbal, touch fake citrus, lots of dandelions, wild bitter flowers, light touch of sweet dough yeast,… Dry, lots of yeast, lively. This is like #2, wild, uninhibited but like fermented, tolerable,… Almost over the edge saison but still almost palatable & interesting. Wadesda #2.2. Bottled on October 2012 – “Do not age this beer.” Not very fresh but this is the freshest, I could obtain this.

33 cL bottle as Delerium. Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is grassy, grapefruity and peachy. Smooth citrusy, crisp hoppy and light grassy to vague herbal hops. Green and crisp. Light yeasty mellowness. Bitter and medium dry finish.

Huge, very dense & fine, just yellowish tinted head, slowly collapsing over very carbonated straw-yellow beer. Very spritzy nose, with a floral note and short hints at cake. Very intriguing nose, Brett seems quite possible. Bitter, EU-hops used in enormous amounts (and no doubt as dry hopping), giving it a bit metallic, but strangely enough not harsh character. Again floral, herbal. Ultra-long, very bitter aftertaste. Velvety MF (the head?), yet quite spritzy, refreshing. Ideosyncratic - as all creations from de la Senne. Keep them coming!

Clear blond beer, huge irregular creamy white head, stable, very adhesive. Aroma: citrus, lots of passion fruit, pineapple, bit piny, some lychee. MF: quite some carbon, medium to light body. Taste: citrus, bit fruity, piny hops, some pineapple, pretty bitter, dry. Aftertaste: citrus, some grapefruit, bitter hops, piny, exotic fruit, bit spice. Like a mixture between saison and IPA.

33cl bottle, bottled Oct 20th 2012. Label clearly states "do not age this beer". Dorée trouble tirant vers un orangé léger, col crémeux blanc. Arôme est agréablement bien houblonné. Ressent ce bouquet de cône de houblon renfermé, fermenté, le tout jonglant habillement entre fruité/fleuri avec de subtiles notes de citron, ananas et autres agrumes et se terminant sur une pointe herbacée. Palais garde un profil type De La Senne sans être trop dominant, on retrouve donc cette sensation d’aigreur minime, levure et cette amertume perdurant. Impression de dry-hopping, le tout étant assez sec mais également frais tirant vers le pamplemousse avec un fini finement amer. La bière peut passée pour une APA avec un possible usage de Centennial ou Colombus venant d’un fruité alternant citronné, ananas léger et possible pointe de melon. Le tout étant mélangé avec cette touche très belge. Au final, une nette progression par rapport à Wadesda#2 avec pour moi une influence assez américaine, possible fruit des diverses collaborations récentes de De La Senne avec des brasseurs nord-américains.
