Brett Saison (ABV 5.5%) from Brasserie De La Senne is a spelt Saison, dry-hopped and fermented with added Brettanomyces. Its color is blond and opalescent with a head of persistent, creamy foam. Aromatic and fruity, its nose is reminiscent of pineapple, quince, apricot and gooseberry. A funky touch, typical of Brettanomyces, completes the picture. In the mouth, these same flavors are intensified and accompanied by notes of cereals with a floral touch. The finish is dry and bitter --typical of traditional Saisons enjoyed by brewery workers a century ago. This extremely refreshing ale does not deny its origins! 11.2 oz capped bottle.
Brewery Information:

La Brasserie De La Senne or De Zennebrouwerij is named for the river Zenne which flows through Brussels, where the brewery is located. Founded by Bernard Leboucq and Yvan De Baets, the brewery has a reputation for brewing fine ales and "frustratingly rare blends" that often include lambic from the nearby Cantillon Brewery.
Leboucq and De Baets do everything themselves, using traditional methods. The beers are neither filtered nor pasteurized, and no additives are used. Their philosophy is to brew beers that are characterful, but not necessarily strong. With an annual production of 1,800 hectoliters, the demand for the beers currently exceeds production capacity.
