Can from Yespr and MiP. Thanks! Citrus aroma with mint. Flowery, citric and yeasty hopbitter flavor, that lingers on a bit in the aftertaste. Some warming alcohol. Actually quite pleasant.

On tap at an exhibition. Clear gold thick white head. It’s a standard Belgian blond beer. Quite tasty. Some esters. Some hop on the finish. Spicy hop. It’s fine but it’ s a little bit same as all the other Belgian blonds. Fine.

Can. A golden beer with a lazing white. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of sulphur and straw. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, fruit, and alcohol. Good body. Thanks yespr for sharing.

25 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a fully gone head. Dense malty and alcohol aroma. Mild fruity and malty flavoured with a light alcohol presence coming through. Lasting malty and slight fruity finish.

Had this in Brussels at the Chez Leon restaurant. It is available in cans for take out. Smells like fresh hops and has a nice golden color with a small head that fades away fast. Taste is crisp and clean, but ends almost pepperminty. This is very refreshing but sneaks up fast at 7 percent. Overall, a good beer for being a chain restaurants beer.

Bought as Bière Léon, and apparently 0.2% lighter . Huge, fine & dense, lightly yellow-coloured disappearing head over well-carbonated darker golden beer. Alcohol, citrus/orangepeel, white candisugar. Certain cookie sweetness, but inviting, though somewhat crude aroma’s. Certain acidity, faintly metallic is what strikes first. Having had this beer less citric before, I wonder if this was intended. Retronasal, the alcohol comes out in force, making it sweet, certainly warming up, cookie- or caramel-like, but again with a citrussy finish. Quite spritzy carbonation, not very well-bodied, thinnish finish. Despite the citrus and the top-fermentation, it cannot really dispell a certain glorified "malt liquor" notion.
