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.

Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of lemon, citrus, some acidic notes. Refreshing and tart but also rather onedimensional. I had bigger expectations about this one.

Flaska från SB. En långsam gusher, disig gyllengul vätska med högt smutsvitt skum. Brettig och lätt syrlig doft med druvor, äpplen och örter. Lätt kropp, syrlig, mjuk lätt vinäger, citrus, äpplen, druvor, örter, gråbo, jäst, funk och massor av brett. Eftersmaken är mjuk och torr och fruktig. Mycket mycket gott.

Fles gedeeld door Keukeman, geprobeerd met Benzai. Het is een helder bleekgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een gistachtige wat hoppige geur. De smaak is fris, citrus achtig en hoppig.

Bottle shared at tasting with Johnny and TomHendriksen. Clear yellow golden color, huge foamy white head. Aroma is typical saison imo: tart, manure, funk. Flavor is similar. Quite alright. Maybe a little on the sour side, but still okay. Solid.

Flaska från SB. Klar, guldfärgad, hög vit krona som hänger kvar. Helt otrolig näsa med fint citrus-syrliga toner där lambicen verkligen kommer fram, som möter upp funkigheten från saisonen. Väl integrerat. Smakmässigt oerhört pigg, bra med syra, samtidigt mjuk och med en fin, ihängande funkighet. Citrusskal, sur disktrasa, lätt beska och humlighet. Fantastiskt gott.

Wow! Saison blended with Cantillon gueuze. Not sure how much of the lambic but seems to be a lot. The saison addition makes it more approachable and palatable. I love gueuze but it's certainly odd, ya know? Hadn't heard of these guys but they're legit.

Bottle from Kihoskh. Cloudy golden with (extremely) lasting, stable head. Funky, woody, citrusy. Some barnyard, wet oak, white grapes, bread. Crisp, dry, rustic. Lovely marriage between funk and rustic.
