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!

Draft pour at Zwanze Day 2026, at The Sovereign in Washington DC. Poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized fizzy white head. Plenty of light floral notes, lemon zest, citrus, with some grapefruit. Flavor was very light, very delicate. Smooth, tasty herbal notes. Quite a tasty beer. Really, really nice.

The aroma is rich, juicy and tangy, loads of red fruits and berries, crunchy cherry, raspberry, blackberry, musty, funky, vinous, red wine soaked oak, jam roly poly and muted vanilla. The taste is smooth upfront, juicy, tangy, puckering, sour crunchy ripe cherry, raspberry, bramble, very jammy, touch of sherbet, sour candy, vinous, splash of red wine vinegar, musty barnyard, some funk, damp oak and light tannin with a drying woody finale.

33 cl. bottle @ Kafé België, Utrecht.
Hazy milky yellow with a white head. Nice Brett aroma with some citrus and a wheat (spelt) note. Sweet taste with a bone dry funky finish. 4 year old bottle so the Brett was really present. Nice one.
