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!

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.

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

(Bottle) Hazy pale amber colour with frothy, tan head. Fruity nose with apricots, crisp-bread, spices, grapefruit and earthy hops. Fruity, floral taste with notes of apricots, grapefruit peel, crisp-bread and a generous citric/spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Rich and hoppy with a good spicy Begian character. Very nice.

Bottle pour at the DC Beer share. I'm certain I've had this many times before, but this is the first rating. Poured a really nice yellow-orange color with a white head. Aroma was a great, complex funky bretty yeast, with some light sweet malts. Big, not overly sweet fruity citrus. Really nice and complex. Solid saison.

Draft @ Zenne bar.
Dorée, léger pâle, col épais blanc.
Arôme est frais classique almemande tout en ayant un agréable caractère frais des malts/grains - repris par un bouquet houblonné noble allemand offrant des notes fleuries et finement herbacées.
Palais est sec, malté pils, houblonné sur le fruité vert avec une petite touche herbacée en support.
