New blonde under the now almost ancient Leroy brand (even though almost everything from Van Eecke is also brewed at Leroy’s facilities since both breweries merged), to commemorate the 450th birthday of Brouwerij Het Sas, the ‘original version’ of Leroy. Medium thick, snow white, large-bubbled and opening head on a clear, pure yellow golden beer. Aroma of banana, honey, white sugared bread, breakfast cereals, creamed corn, freshly cut grass. Sweetish, moderately fruity onset, hints of red apple, banana and pineapple, medium carbonated with slick, smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel; cereally malt sweetishness with a layer of honeyish, unfermented sugars on top, yet keeping itself enough in check to avoid stickiness. Grassy hop bitterness in the end too, ending clean, smooth and ‘rounded’. Another sweet and simple, accessible Belgian blonde to quench the thirst – by itself okay, but I personally would have made another style choice to celebrate a 450th birthday…

Clear golden, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of apple peel, plum, cheese, yeast, bread crust, mandarin, vague coriander. Taste has sweetish apple & plum, bit wheaty, yeasty, spicy. Grassy hoppy finish, ongoing yeasty effect and notes of unripe yellow fruits. Medium body, slick-watery texture, average carbonation. Correct, nothing more.

Pour is a murky dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma is molasses and dark fruit. Flavor is more sweet molasses and raisin and finishes with some cocoa powder. This was decent but nothing that would wow your sock off at the same time.

Pour is more of a hazy tan with average white head. Lots of yeast cake junk came out of the bottle. Aroma is musty dark fruit and some candi sugar. Flavor is a slight sweet dark fruit but also a big alcohol note. Booze is not hidden at all. Finish is hot with not much else noticeable. Not up to typical Belgian standards with this one.
