330 ml bottle. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of Brett, cottony fruit, pears and dry wheaty malts. Flavors of pears, citrus, and sharp wheaty malts. Tangy. Very farmhouse and refreshing.

Small, quite regular snowwhite head over pale yellow beer with a greenish sheen. Spicy nose, wheat, bit weyish. Very slight wheatacidity, again spicey, and probably drier than most wits. Creamy feel, well carbonated to spritzy, wheatslick. Meritorious in the world of corianderboil wits.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a murky apricot with minimal almost white head and good lacing. There’s continental hops, yeast and lemongrass in the aroma, along with a trace of oranges. In the mouth it starts off somewhere between sharp, bitter and sweet but the bitterness eventually comes to dominate. Flavours of apricot, orange, coriander plus hints of dried fruit. Finish is quite dry. This is quite nice. Not an outstanding Belgian beer, but with some unusual flavours.

Saison by Senne - I assume brewed especially for the occasion - blended with Cantillon lambic, referring to the old Belgian tradition of 'versnijbier' or, in French, 'bière de coupage'; created for this year's Quintessence, a prestigious biennial event held by Cantillon. Medium thick, off-white, busily lacing (in 'arches'), tiny-bubbled and densely structured, fairly stable head on a misty warm orangey peach blonde robe with brownish-amber tinge, turning more cloudy and ochre with sediment. Aroma of bread crust, soggy rusk, dried grapefruit peel, hints of passata and fried tomato skin, old dried wormwood leaves, tellicherry pepper, cold pumpkin soup, vague wood in the background, dried dandelion, something very faintly smoky (burnt hay), old wrinkled autumn apples, vague clove. Estery onset, dryish though, hinting at dried apple, unripe peach and dried lingonberries, minerally carbonated with this minerality persisting till the end; smooth bready maltiness, bread crust, rusk and vague biscuit, indeed soured by the lambic, with adds not only a thinly lemon-ish tartness and sour grape-like vinosity, but also glimpses of Brettanomyces funk (wet leather, damp hay) and woodiness. Spicy elements here and there, as in white pepper, clove and dandelion, eventually merge with a rooty, long, resinous wormwoody and somewhat grapefruity hop bitterness. Most 'historical' coupage beers combined a dark ale (dubbel) with lambic to create something oud bruin-like, but this belongs more to a Brussels tradition Senne is so skilled at, adding a certain fraîcheur and citric tartness to a spicy, earthy, bitter saison; the lambic does not overpower, though, making me wonder what its Brett will do to this blend after a year or two of cellaring. In this relatively young form, it is more Senne than Cantillon, but the latter is certainly present and the two combined make for a sturdy, dry yet elegant and quenching saison of sorts.

In my point of view, it is a good and aromatic black IPA, nice note of pear, a change of the traditionnal Belgian ales, lovely country, 08.06.18, at Lausanne Prélaz, buying it at le Belge, Léman Centre, Bussigny.
