High white head, but it's wispy and soon gone to leave little lace, and only a collar on the beer. Pale lemon body with some mild haze. Head is less impressive than most other de la Senne beers. Nose is pretty neutral to be honest, with some simple...
Quintessence 2025 Blend. BB 03APR 30. Light copper body with a smallish off-white head, some lace. Average retention. Nose is that of dryish grape skins. A touch of tartness in the first sips, but it's modest, and it is also accompanied by plenty...
Hard to believe that I have no notes on this beer until now. I've drunk it on multiple occasions. I believe that the recipe gets tweaked every year. I'm assuming this is a 2025, but the dates are obliterated on the label. A classic, Belgian IPA if...
33 cl bottle, the usual De La Senne presentation. This beer is a little beyond its suggested Best Before date, but not significantly. Reddish, bown/black pour and yes, I know that sounds rificulous, but the light hitting the beer in various ways...
This is an older bottle of a delicate beer that is 24 months past its best before date. Notes purely for self. Still some decent carbonation which is really a function of De La Senne. However that's where things basically end. Murky orange body...
No idea what relation (if any) this beer has to this. Pour is a way lighter, copper amber colored than anyone should be expecting for a Belgian Strong Dark of any description. Head and retention are both as expected and as per all de La Senne...
Taras Boubla has had such a profound impact on many people, and some might say even on Belgian beer as whole, that Petit Boulba comes with some inevitable baggage. That's a shame, but unavoidable I fear. A pale lemon, cloudy body with astonishingly...
Bottled 23JUN23 BBD 23JUN27. #9 in a series that has not been easily available in the US, or via shipping beer in from Belgium directly. These beers have been experimental series since 2014, taking on various guises with various collaborators and...
As is so often the case with De La Senne, Zinne Bir pours with a high, fluffy head, and produces some lovely lace and has good retention. The head sits atop a pale, slightly hazed, golden body. The nose has a sweet, bready note, but that's about...
Pour is excellent (as expected), with the classic de la Senne high carbonation and great head in effect. De la Senne's carbonation across all styles really is a real calling card, and a thing to behold. Lacing is great. Black pour that has some...
Etre. Unusually for them, slightly out of date - not that it matters much I feel. Bottled: 12SEP23 BBD: 12JUN24 Some deep, deep cuts here. Even if you ARE up to speed with some US brewing history, and even if you're old enough and experienced...
11.2oz bottle, BBD: 23MAR28. Not sure if that makes this a 2023 vintage or not ... more research required. Lovely, lightly hazed orange color with a great head that is beautifully formed and retained. Nice lace. Nose offers some significant, yeasty...
Bottled 20SEP22, Best Before 20SEP24. "Dry-hopped quad"? For all intents and purposes this is a sweet, hoppy Tripel/BDSA, or at least something that resembles that particular description. Good looking, fluffy white head with a lightly hazed golden...
If I'm brutally honest, not a beer for the purist. To be fair, the label does describe it as a 'Hoppy Tripel'. Again if I'm honest, this isn't a great start for me. I'm a big Tripel fan, but mostly for the reason that they offer a sweetness that is...
It's a beautiful color. A fantastic golden hue. A lovely white head, some lace and decent retention. Nose is sweet, light and simple. Very, very refreshing. Clean as a whistle and simplicity itself. Light bitterness sits on top of the easy malts. A...
A slightly hazed pour. Not a great head, not good retention or lace. Looks little NEIPAish - oh God ... Good aspirin bitterness up front, bites quite hard initially, and then backs off way too much.. Nose and mouthfeel are both too full and round...
11.2oz bottle, BB 24 NOV 25, Dry Hopped Wheat Beer with Brett. Difficult to resist a collaboration between these two, but it has to be send that collaborations very often fail to meet the (often unrealistic) raised expectations. Clouded, lemon...
Lovely lemon colored, clouded pour with a dense head. Excellent retention and some lace. Looks classically well-made. Nose offers a dry funky note, as expected, simple and requisite with the style. That has the potential to sound trivial, but as we...
Additional notes 01/18/26 Pictured. BBD 11 JUL 28 High carbonation - excellent. The Brett character and the head remain absolutely first-class, and if you want "Brett beer" defined, reach for this. Lightly cheesy, wonderfully funky, the beer has...
33 cl bottle. Recently shipped in from Belgium. A complex collaboration between La Senne and Perennial, Yazoo, Little Animals, Keeping Together, Off Color and Somewhere Else Beer Project. Beautiful, deep orange golden color. Medium head, that has a...
Brewed May 18th 2016. Barrel-aged Saison, bottle-conditioned. Bottled on 7th, August 2017, Best Before 7th August 2019. Well, it is what it is. Brewed in 2016, this is likely a minimum of three, maybe more, years past its best. That didn't stop me...
Hazed, honey colored pour. Fantastic head, white, high and sticky with lace and persistent. Looks great. The light balance of this beer is second to none. Bitterness is there, but it is so very tempered with a fantastic, creamy body and the light...
33 cl bottle, imported from Belgium. 2021 Vintage. Dare I say it? It looks a little like a NEIPA. Hazed, light orange body with a fluffy, large head that creates decent lace and retention. Nose offers some light hops, and a grassy freshness that...
330 mL bottle from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. $3.99 for the chance to try this. Errr ...Belgian Pale (as per current BA db designation), NO. Much more like a Brune. Head and lace a quite poor and the body is a chestnut, deep brown. Nose...
750 mL capped and corked from Duke's package up on US-41 in Marietta, GA, USA. Green, heavy glass with a champagne dimpled bottom. Dark brown, hazy pour with a decent amount of head and lace. VERY Dubbel-like as opposed to BSDA, and lacks the...
