33 cL bottle as Delerium. Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is grassy, grapefruity and peachy. Smooth citrusy, crisp hoppy and light grassy to vague herbal hops. Green and crisp. Light yeasty mellowness. Bitter and medium dry finish.

Bottle, bought @ Beer Planet, Brussels.
Pours very pale yellow with a medium, frothy to bubbly white head. Aroma has pleasant citrus and grass, some melon (galia), light yeast present to add some dusty pineapple notes. Crisp and light doughy malts. High carbonation, dry and light mouthfeel. Flavour is simple, yet elegant. Dry, hoppy, herbal, citrussy. Light chalky note to the finishing bitterness. But overall a very refreshing drink.

Huge, very dense & fine, just yellowish tinted head, slowly collapsing over very carbonated straw-yellow beer. Very spritzy nose, with a floral note and short hints at cake. Very intriguing nose, Brett seems quite possible. Bitter, EU-hops used in enormous amounts (and no doubt as dry hopping), giving it a bit metallic, but strangely enough not harsh character. Again floral, herbal. Ultra-long, very bitter aftertaste. Velvety MF (the head?), yet quite spritzy, refreshing. Ideosyncratic - as all creations from de la Senne. Keep them coming!

Bottle courtesy of sebletitje, thanks Sebastian! The 33cl bottle pours with an effervescent clear deep gold body and supporting a tall off white head of foam. The aroma is kind of minearlly, spicy yeastiness, some citrus to acidic smelling fruit. The taste is nice and hoppy with lemon and lime and tangelo mixing with bitter floral and spicy like Saison yeastiness. This is pretty crisp and tasty.

33cl bottle, bottled Oct 20th 2012. Label clearly states "do not age this beer". Dorée trouble tirant vers un orangé léger, col crémeux blanc. Arôme est agréablement bien houblonné. Ressent ce bouquet de cône de houblon renfermé, fermenté, le tout jonglant habillement entre fruité/fleuri avec de subtiles notes de citron, ananas et autres agrumes et se terminant sur une pointe herbacée. Palais garde un profil type De La Senne sans être trop dominant, on retrouve donc cette sensation d’aigreur minime, levure et cette amertume perdurant. Impression de dry-hopping, le tout étant assez sec mais également frais tirant vers le pamplemousse avec un fini finement amer. La bière peut passée pour une APA avec un possible usage de Centennial ou Colombus venant d’un fruité alternant citronné, ananas léger et possible pointe de melon. Le tout étant mélangé avec cette touche très belge. Au final, une nette progression par rapport à Wadesda#2 avec pour moi une influence assez américaine, possible fruit des diverses collaborations récentes de De La Senne avec des brasseurs nord-américains.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2013 31/XII/12 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - bottled: X/12 (2012-1443)

Clear blond beer, huge irregular creamy white head, stable, very adhesive. Aroma: citrus, lots of passion fruit, pineapple, bit piny, some lychee. MF: quite some carbon, medium to light body. Taste: citrus, bit fruity, piny hops, some pineapple, pretty bitter, dry. Aftertaste: citrus, some grapefruit, bitter hops, piny, exotic fruit, bit spice. Like a mixture between saison and IPA.

UPDATED: MAY 9, 2013 bottle.
beautiful yeasty aroma of fresh fog. rustic farm hay. fresh autumn forest must.
beautiful soft milky yogurt complemented nicely by green grapes. quite unique.
works splendidly.

taste comes across as bitter, leafy grass. resin. wet herbs.
let this one open up/rise in temperature slightly as some minutes in the glass mellowed out an abrasive resin-grass bitterness that was a bit too much at first. again, softened nicely as it warmed.

this is so grate, nice. better than lebron jame. we’re talkin kobe bryan pet supply good.

gold blond colored body with a white head and a spicy floral fruity yeast hoppy aroma a spicy fruity herby hoppy bitter taste with a bitter finish

#850 BE beer. 33 cl. bottle split with Kraddel. Obtained in a trade with tderoeck, cheers. Similar label to #1 & #2 – after many years of only #1 vaguely existing, the series appears to be quite alive & kicking these days. Hazy golden orange with a BIG white head. Nose is funky, touch citrus cleaning agent, strongly herbal, wild floral, dandelions,… Taste is strongly funky, bitter, wild floral, strongly bitter hops in the back, herbal, touch fake citrus, lots of dandelions, wild bitter flowers, light touch of sweet dough yeast,… Dry, lots of yeast, lively. This is like #2, wild, uninhibited but like fermented, tolerable,… Almost over the edge saison but still almost palatable & interesting. Wadesda #2.2. Bottled on October 2012 – “Do not age this beer.” Not very fresh but this is the freshest, I could obtain this.
