Blonde dorée trouble, belle mousse mais peu persistante, belle pétillance. Assez amère: zeste d’agrumes, légère astringence sur la fin, dégage une certaine fraîcheur qui fait un peu penser à une saison.

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.

33cl, bottled Oct 2012. - Almost chalky dry and foamy bitter, with an austere but ultimately crowd-pleasing subtle grass&citrus hop profile and velvet-smooth palate. Some overlap, again, with De Ranke XXBitter.
Always glad to taste new Belgian ales that succeed in being tasty and clear without adding sugar&spice at ABVs below 6. Another incremental victory for De la Senne in widening the sessioning gap between saison and low-ABV Belgian ale for a new audience that has to come to terms that Belgium has no real quality pilsners to fill that gap.

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.

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.

A very nice light hoppy ale from this great young brewery. Oct 2012 dated 33cl bottle from ABS Drinks. Very hoppy aroma.. Hints of a Citra hop. Pours cwith a big head and tastes very frsh and young, as they say on the bottle.. Not one to be aged.

33cl bottle. Appearence - golden usual haze with big head. Aroma - saison-like and big hop herbal. Taste- refreshing dry finesse, spice, complex. Rustic beauty.

Nez très fleuri et houblonné. Couleur dorée, belle mousse. Gout très houblonné. Grosse amertume et finale très sèche.

#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.
