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!

Lichtbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is fruitig licht zuur met iets van druiven, citrus en wat rode wijn. Niet echt mijn stijl maar toch best goed.

330 ml bottle purchased at Brasserie de la Senne - Zenne Bar in Brussels, Belgium. BOT:23JUN23, BBD:23JUN27. The pour is a clear golden with a ton of fine carbonation bubbles that build up a foamy egg white head that is lasting. The aroma is the Cantillon tart citrus and house yeast, along with a really engaging floral softness. The taste is a soft floral Saison, wheat grain, and just a touch of the Cantillon Lambic that integrates really nicely just below the Saison character. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and the floral yeast tart citrus dry finish. Whisper of funk as it warms, adding character. This was one of the best beers I have had in a long while.

330 ml, bottled 07 Aug 24. Straw coloured body, with a medium head.
Aroma of fresh herbs, grass, flowers, pine, dough, citrus, some stone fruits. Tastes similar.
Lighter mourhtfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes dry, bitter, herbal, floral, piney, citric.

Very easy to drink, but also very crisp and characterful, with beautiful hop notes. Simply outstanding for the low ABV, even over a year after bottling!

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sour. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza velata. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è medio e c'è anche una componente moderatamente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si fermano caratteristiche di miele, cracker, biscotto, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia rossa, erbe aromatiche, aromi dello scantinato, terra, prugna, vino rosso, burro, pepe bianco, bruciato, chiodi di garofano, acetico, sour, mais cotto e puzzola.
