Saison du Meyboom(ABV 5.5%) fromBrasserie De La Senneis a summer beer par excellence, light and refreshing. It features rustic cereals (spelt, rye, and wheat) and is dry-hopped with ancient varieties of aromatic hops. It’s brewed every year for the raising of theMeyboom(maypole) in Brussels, an 800-year-old tradition.
Saison du Meyboompours a hazy yellow with a high, white head and a grassy, mineral, floral, honeyed aroma. The taste is moderately dry, with notes of citrus, apple, grain, and floral yeast, plus a good dose of bitter hops. Refreshing and well-carbonated. 11.2 oz capped bottle.
Brewery Information:
La Brasserie De La SenneorDe Zennebrouwerijis 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.
