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!

Bottle. Golde colour. Hazy. The aroma is dry and yeasty with a touch of honey. Nice fruity flavor. Honey and yeast. Hoppy after taste. Smooth and well balanced. Re-rate from tap @ Alkuart: Pours yellow, hazy, with a big white head. Tart, hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, herbs and honey. Taste is tart and hoppy with a clean malty base (bready) and a dry finish. Like a really hoppy saison.

Draft at Kerstbierfestival 2007. A very dark brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of spice - especially cloves and coriander and a light acidic note of coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry roasted malty finish. Lovely.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Mahogany colour, rocky head. Perfumy floral nose with candy sugar and prunes. Bittersweet with clean mouthfeel and medium-full body. Realy hoppy with bitter almond and marzipan, salty bitter finish. Elegance is lost in the quest for power.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 Oct 2008) Golden colour, hazy, with huge white head. Tart, fruity nose with horse blanket, barn, green apples and old socks. Tart, fruity taste with notes of green apples, hay, distinct lambic flavours and a harsh, dry bitterness in a spicy, long finish. Excellent beer, combining the spicy, earthy notes of the saison style with the tart, dry notes of the lambic. Lovely beer!
