First batch - 2008.
Second batch - August 2021.
Directly inspired by traditional saisons of the 19th century, beers meant to quench the thirsts of farm workers at harvest time, the Saison de la Senne is a beer of mixed fermentation. It is both bitter and aromatic thanks to particularly generous hopping, while at the same time developing a vinous and tangy character thanks to a blending with old lambic from the Cantillon brewery. Ripened in oak barrels for 9 months and listed at 4.3% abv.

Bottle pour at the DC Beer share. I'm certain I've had this many times before, but this is the first rating. Poured a really nice yellow-orange color with a white head. Aroma was a great, complex funky bretty yeast, with some light sweet malts. Big, not overly sweet fruity citrus. Really nice and complex. Solid saison.

Color anaranjado, espuma blanquecina de media retención. Aroma a paja, granero, establo, repostería, levadura, naranjas de temporada, hierba, pan, esparto. En boca es rústica, algo dulce, buen punto ácido, ligeramente agria, bastante vinosa, amargor moderado al final del trago, carbonatada, ligeras cosquillas en el paladar, final largo. Una pedazo de saison de puta madre, buen nivel, buenisima

March ‘23 bottling. 6%. Probably warrants a separate entry. Beautiful glowing orange gold with a sturdy glossy white foam. Looks mega. Nose has orange rind. Whiff of yer Anderlecht funk. Chipped wood. Sweet forced rhubarb. Taste is light tart and pretty dry with a firm funky bitterness. Lively and crisp with fine rolling carbonation. Dry tart bitter slightly puckering finish. Nice one.
