Description
Yvan DE BAETS and Bernard LEBOUCQ meet each other in 2002, during the second edition of the Zinnekparade. Bernard had created the now famous ZINNEBIR for this unique Brussels event. However, it took another five years for BRASSERIE DE LA SENNE to settle effectively in the capital. In the meantime, the brewing activities were continued at friendly breweries. This bohemian existence came to an end on December 22, 2010, the date of the very first 100% Brussels brew!

Straw coloured body, with a big, fluffy, white head.
Aroma of fresh herbs, flowers, hay, citrus, pine, wheat, spices, some dough. Tastes similar, with slight biscuit.
A bit creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes crisp, hoppy, floral, zesty, piney, wheaty, yeasty, spicy.

Pretty complex for the style, Wheaty notes, crisp hops and their typical yeasty notes in great harmony. Drinks super crisp and balanced, great refreshing stuff!

Big fat pint. Rutland Arms. There was no beating this today. Multiple fruit lambics. Good real cider. Hoppy bollocks. Nothing came close. Uber easy drinking malt forward logger with a big hoppage. Class.

Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly baked bread, sponge cake, brioche, biscotti, green banana, melon, twist of citrus, wood and a hint of mint. The taste is firmly dry, woody bitterness, spicy, grassy, herbal, citrus peel, slightly metallic, banana split, bready, sponge cake, nip of alcohol, fragrant and florals with a drying finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Enjoyable, feels a bit muddled. 2025 was a fair bit better imo.

On tap at The Hope Carshalton. Clear gold colour. Lasting white head. Some lager aroma. Like a François landbier. But then tastes like a Belgian blond. Really interesting mix of styles. Apricot flavour. Decent. Yep I liked it. Good.

Pours slightly haze. Small white head. Scent is very malty, fruity hops and yeasty notes. Fresh. Taste is full, malty, fresh and crisp, mildly (very mild) sweet finish. Quite nice, refreshing easy drinker. Mildly bitter.

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, agrumi, spezie, frutta passita, rabarbaro e pepe bianco.

33cL bottled May 14, 2025, drunk July 22, 2026.
Smells fantastic...clean and zesty, very bright and chalk full of lovely wheat. Lovely esters and mildly spicy phenols do more than enough work to replace the oft-overdone coriander and lemonpeel. Quite aromatic for its size, particularly.
Oh man, that's incredible....wonderful, wonderful yeast showing zesty black pepper, hints of band aid and a speck of lemony acidity. Rich wheat isn't too slick/chewy/nutty; at least not so much as to create blandness. Great acidity and a proper malt depth for its size. Refreshing, wildly flavorful and balanced. Convincing.

hazy pale yellow colour, large, dense white head; aroma of floral, lemon zesty, some grassy, lemony and grapefruity notes; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with similar notes to the aroma; really good one!

Chop @ Delaneys, Odense. Pours cloudy golden yellow with a white head. Sublime aroma. Crusty white bread, dandelion, pomelo and blossom. A touch of grass. It has the De La Senne finesse. And although I expected Perfection - I am still amazed. 4.5
