Draft at Sovereign. Hazy golden yellow color. Earthy hay aroma. Taste is peppery, funky, earthy, hint of garlic. Very nice.
Draught @ The Rover. Very happy this found its way to Gothenburg. Pours hazy burnt orange with a small creamy offwhite head that leaves a small ring of trace on the glass while quickly dissipating. Smell is slightly fruity and floral with crackers, white bread, grapefruit juice, pineapple, moist dewy grass, pine needles, dried yellow flowers, fresh summer air, minerals and lemon zest. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny bitter, fruity, tiny grassy and slightly floral. Mouthfeel is soft, tiny flat, slightly dry, round, tiny astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with crackers, white bread, grapefruit juice, mango, pineapple, moist grass, dried flowers, minerals, lemon zest and hints of caramel. De la Senne once again show their mastery by adding their house characteristics to an already solid hoppy beer. Elegant, crushable and pretty simply great. Only thing I can find to complain about is the slightly lacking carbonation.

250 ml. draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Deep hazy peach orange. Nose is nice floral hops, hay, below all of that there is light overripe peach, dash exotic but mainly floral & hay bitter hops with quite a bit of yeast. Taste is mellow white bread & yeast, touch too sweetish & yeast forward, chewy yeast, faint overripe peach, finish goes into strong floral bitterness, bitter hay, floral, really dries out after a while,… Yeasty body & massively dry. Very nice taken on its own but feels almost a bit like a bit less balance & bit overly yeasty, touch too sweetish upfront version of some of their other blond beers. Good but I would expect even better from De La Senne.
Several glasses, special keg draft @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas 6th anniversary bash. Orangé, col épais blanc. Arôme est fort plaisant et met de suite l’accent sur le Chinook, retrouve un côté agrumes-pamplemousse avec ces effluves superbes de sac de houblons frais - pin, avec cette levure DLS qui reste cependant plus discrète. Palais est prenant et est une des versions IPA-belge DLS la plus aboutie en terme de sortie des houblons nobles souvent utilisé par DLS. Le tout reste sec appuyé par la levure. Amertume est agréable et moyenne, retrouve une note fruitée-agrumes, pointe épicée et sèche en fin de bouche. Le caractère des grains ajoute un peu à cette signature plus belge.
Draught @Akkurat. Hazy amber, thin white head. Tropical fruity aroma, tangerine. Flavor has tropical fruits, tangerine, light sweetness. Fresh and crisp.
Draught. Hazy light amber liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of earth, fresh hops, white pepper, jenka, lemon peel and grain. Taste is dry and light to medium bitter with notes of lemon, grain, bread and white pepper. Light to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Awesome. Drinkable and hoppy. Really showcases Senne’s house yeast well.
