About
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!

Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck @ Tim's Brewfist Italian night.
Bottled 14/04/2025, BB 14/01/2026. Toujours intéressant de voir un essai de pils par DLS, de surcroit quand cela est une collab avec les fondateurs de la pils italienne - Tipopils.
Dorée, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme garde de fins effluves classiques de DLS - avec un cette levure qui garde son petit côté suret - le tout repris en support par un malté pils et un houblonnage délicat que je trouve assez floral.
Palais reste également sur une approche DLS - le tout est très léger, avec buvalité optimale, le tout supporté par un agréable caractère houblonné - floral et fruité rappelant des notes agrumes et fruits à noyaux mais laissant de tout même la part belle à une approche cérales pils marquée.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 4.9%. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, large white head. Pleasant aroma of pilsener malts and grassy, herbal and floral hops. Smooth mouthfeel. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, with a distinct bitterness in the finish, becomes sharpish in the aftertaste.

Fruity, herbal taste with bread, citrus, grass, coriander and a mild herbal/citric bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

330ml @ Ryan's (thx for the beer, man!).
Aroma: Brett, some flowery notes, some peppery and light smoky notes like in Belgian Saison.
Taste: along the same lines, loads of Brett. Finishes with Brett bitterness.
Overall: another representative of those Matt's and Andrew's favourite ratings from me with "Brett, Brett, too much Brett" in them 😂

Poured from 33cl bottle (bottled 22 June 2023; bb 22 June 2027). Hazy orangey gold with white head. Super dry soft brett, mild citrus note, quick finish. Gets a bit one note with all the brett.

Bottle at The Republic Brugge. Clear gold colour lasting off white head. Some Belgian yeast esters on the aroma. Some floral hop in the mouth. Some citrus fruits. Some bitterness on the finish. Reminds me of a number of Belgian blond. This is a little more floral perhaps. Well put together and a favourite style.

33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold, fairly hazy, with fine white foam. Aroma is fruity, spiced, a little funky. Body is average, with good carbonation. Taste is moderately bitter, with a bit of acidity. Final is long, still fairly intense.
