Saison van de Bruwer is a spelt Saison, dry-hopped and fermented with added Brettanomyces. It is blond, opalescent; its very persistent foam is creamy and fine. Very 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, a floral touch, and a final that evokes lime zests. Its attack is mellow, but its finish is dry and bitter — typical character traits of the 1920s Saisons. bbd 18/11/2024

Saison blended with lambic from Cantillon and aged in barrels. "An extremely complex but at the same time very refreshing beer. It somehow resembles a hoppy gueuze with a distinct bitterness. Indeed, the Saisons were generously hopped for the well-known keeping properties of hops. Also, they were often dry-hopped, as is the case here. Saison de la Senne has been barrel-aged for three years before bottling. Amber in color, its nose reminds one of Lambic, with notes of fallen apples, wood, leather, and the typical funky character of the Bretts. In the mouth, a soft tartness is present, quickly leading to dryness. The aromas of the nose are completed by those of spelt and rye, quince, green gooseberries and a complex vinous character. The finish is bitter but perfectly in balance." Second blend bottled in March 2023.

"Camaraderie is a unique saison, brewed in collaboration with our friends at Alvinne Brewery. This creation celebrates friendship and solidarity, and is part of our special 10-year series. We have cherished our relationship with Alvinne for many years, and this beer brings that story to life. Taste the power of true camaraderie!"

"Saison Hallertau is a blend of four barrels from three worts brewed in January, March, and August 2019. It was dry-hopped with whole leaf Hallertau Blanc, Mandarina Bavaria, and Fuggles.The beer is a bitter, amber saison with a good balance of malt, yeast, and hop flavour. A small quantity was released relatively fresh last year through Favourite Beers, as a tribute to Nicky Norwood, wife of owner Leigh. The further ageing since has allowed time for the wild yeast to significantly modify the hop aromatics and add further depths of funk."

"Still is a single barrel bottling of four year old beer, brewed in March 2018. We have been hoping to find a barrel that would have enough character and bite to exist without the need for carbonation. The wort was made using a turbid mash and underwent an extended boil with large quantities of aged hops. After two nights in our coolship, the wort was transferred to a single 500 litre barrel for four years of fermentation and maturation. The resulting beer was bottled still, without the addition of sugar to produce a refermentation. It has a significant richness for the abv, balanced by a striking hop bitterness, and lingering tannin from the four years in oak."
