For this second collab, we visited French-Flanders and our friend Daniel Thiriez (to be honest, it was he who actually came to Brussels). We chose Brasserie Thiriez for the same reason as we chose De Ranke. Between 2007 and 2010, Daniel allowed us to use his installations during our gypsy brewing years.
This time we used a different set of hops to brew the recipe: Daniel selected 100% French hops, cultivated by a cooperative called Comptoir Agricole.
The character of Zinnebir was well respected. However, her bitterness is a bit more rustic and she has a different kind of fruitiness. We detect some physalis and different floral, herbal and spicy notes.

Bottiglia. Il naso viene catturato dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza opalescente. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, amaretto, biscotto, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia amara e mandarino.

Bottle picked up from Foeders online webshop, Haarlem, Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 26th February 2023 listening to older music on throwback Sunday. Pete and the Pirates - One Thousand Pictures Royal Blood - Royal Blood Erland and the Carnival - Erland and the Carnival Dexys Midnight Runners - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels Now it's Pogues - Peace and Love Cooking a Belgian Beef Carbonnade and also Chicken and Chorizo Lasagne and Chorizo, Red Onion and Feta Spring Rolls (made them up). Pours hazy yellow gold with a big white head. It's fresh, crisp and perky with a really good bitterness, the initial sweetness is soon battered down. This is lovely, it's the beer of the day by some margin.
Bottle at Carlsens Kvarter. Hazy golden with a fluffy and lasting white head. Spicy Senne house character with floral and grassy notes. Dry and quite bitter spicy and grassy flavour with light floral, fruity and bubblegum notes.
