They might not ring a bell in the northern part of Belgium or abroad, but in Brussels they are part of the cultural heritage: Les Snuls! This collectif of comedians was known for their self-mockery and typically Belgian humor filled with absurdity. They have been making us laugh for 33 years now, and to celebrate this we have been asked to brew them a beer: Santa Belgica! Of course the name is in reference to one of their well-known sketches.
It is a blond beer of only 4,5% alcohol, highly drinkable and with a nice but moderate bitterness. Her hoppiness is at times fruity and at times floral. She's a beautifully balanced beer that has been created to drink amongst friends while rewatching the delicious sketches of Les Snuls! Santei!

Draught Huge white, dense head over hazy lemonjuice-like beer. Sneakers, leather, herbal, spicey, fur. Bretty, bitter. Again herbal. Rather harsh bitterness, as horsechestnut or even quinine. Resin, but also greenmalt. Good, sparkling carbonation, bit (hopoil)slick. Harsh bitterness keeps going on. I'm not really over the moon with this kind of bitter.

Pours slightly unclear blonde. Small white head. Scent is very mild, elegant hops. Taste is sharp, bitter, very elegant funk and hoppyness. Long bitter finish. Refined, dry and refreshing - De La Senne as we love it !
