75cl bottle from Leclerc. Pours a golden amber, light mist to it, good white head. Aroma has strong blonde yeasty esters, verging into tripel territory with vanillery tangents. Flavour profile continues in a similar fashion, rich alcohol behind an amped up Leffe sweetness. Feel a bit mucky saying nice things about AB Inbev but there we go, I'm enjoying it.

clear dark golden to bright amber colour, moderate sized dense off-white head; aroma of dried banana, grainy, floral, fruity (apple-dominant), dried apricot or rather apricot jam and Belgian yeasty notes; taste of syrupy sweetness, some apple-like fruitiness, yeasts and herbal hoppy notes; correct one

Foamy white head stayed golden coloured body. Citrus, coriander & yeast aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with nicely carbonated clean back. Sweet citrus, coriander, spice & bubble gum tastes with a peppery finish. Damn fine beer. Served from Perfect Draft.
