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!

Bottle from Beer Shop Folkestone and drunk at home. This should be right up my alley. Slight haze pale brown amber colour thin off white head. Authentic funky aroma. Clearly a lambic. Aged hops. Proper funk. Its then an amber malty beer over the top. Does the blend of 2 beer styles work? Yes. Some malt sweetness. Yes really interesting. Very drinkable. Funk and then an amber beer. Sour and hop finish. Decent enough.

330 ml bottled 14 Apr 25. Golden body, with a big, fluffy head.
Aroma of grains, hay, fresh herbs, flowers, cereals, citrus. Tastes similar, with some more fruit notes.
Medium mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes crisp, dry, citric, floral, grassy, piney, herbal, cerealic.
Very tasy, super crip Lager! Lots of character, with both rustic notes and more modern hop notes. Drinks extremely easy and balanced, I could drink this all day!

From Good Times Oakland, best by April 3rd 2030.
Pours a hazy dark amber, nice head of foam, good retention and lacing.
The smell is notes of Brett, fruity tartness, some ascetic sourness.
The taste is fruity tartness, yeasty, ascetic sourness, tasty Brett.
Medium bodied with lively carbonation, I would drink this again.

Un arco olfattivo dominato dal frumento. La finezza olfattiva è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato arrivano note di miele, frumento, frutta secca e agrumi.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a bright orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was funky yeast, some bitterness. Big and fragrant hops, with yeast, and a big funky character.
