About
Leroy Het Sas : The original brewery "Het Sas", later Brouwerij Leroy, established in Boezinge in 1572; destroyed in the First World War and rebuilt in 1924. Named after a lock ('sas' in Dutch) in the nearby canal. Cooperating with Van Eecke (Leroy Breweries Watou) since 1962. Both breweries merged into Leroy Breweries in 2016.

Leroy Watou : Established as a castle brewery for the count of Watou in 1624 and also known formerly as Brouwerij De Gouden Leeuw. Has long been connected to Leroy in Boezinge through family ties, with both breweries cooperating since 1962. They merged into Leroy Breweries in 2016; the Watou branch now does all the actual brewing (while Boezinge handles conditioning and bottling).

This year’s special edition of this legendary beer with freshly harvested hops – and freshly revised label apparently. Opens with a lot of ‘smoke’ coming from the bottle, but no gushing, in stark contrast with last year’s edition… Cobweb-lacing, snow white, irregular, thick and frothy head on an initially near-clear, warm and pure golden blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge and lots of swirls of sparkling, misty with sediment. Aroma of fresh camomile, sugar loaf, flax, sweetclover, apple slices turning brown, dry hay, lightly toasted pine nuts, soap, subtler hints of blossoming lilacs, bitter green garden weeds, raw button mushrooms, mint leaf, clove, green olive. Crisp, fruity-estery onset, halfripe banana, apricot and green apple, only restrainedly sweet, very fizzy carbonation (minerally in flavour and filling the mouth with ‘foam’ initially, but not in an overly harsh way); supple, bread-crusty and cereally, white-bready core, long grassy and spicy hop bitterness in the finish, hinting at dandelion, thistles and field flowers but also at grapefruit peel and tonic water. Lingering bready and spicy-phenolic elements bring us back to the thoroughly Belgian nature of this beer, albeit with a modern twist. A ‘Belgian IPA’ in effect, this beer does manage to focus on the hops in an elegant, noble and natural way; feels just a pinch more ‘exotic’ than its predecessors, in a way. I like this kind of beer, if well done, and that certainly is the case here.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a hazy golden/orange colour with a large foamy white head. Aromas similar to a wheat beer with bananas and cloves, hints of coriander, orange, apples, pears and spice. Taste has orange zest, peppery spice and a hoppy bitterness on the finish. Medium bodied with lively prickly like carbonation on the palate and a fruity and spicy hop finish. Very nice. Excellent beer.

Flaska från Belgiuminabox som stått två år. Bärnstensfärgad med ett högt stabilt smutsvitt skum. Doft av torkad frukt, honung, söta päron, marsipan. Söt smakbild med inte alls sliskigt, smak som doften men djupare och riktigt harmonisk med välutvecklade smaker men fortfarande kraftfull och värmande. Rustik och elegant och riktigt god.

L'édition 2020 ne restera pas comme la plus aboutie avec une amertume trop agressive et un ensemble manquant d'équilibre. L'effervescence trop poussée la rend de surcroît brouillonne. En verre, si le blond doré limpide et parcouru pas de vives fines bulles est sympathique, la mousse blanc cassé est quant à elle trop généreuse. Le nez laisse entrevoir des arômes de pomme, cidre et fines épices sir un houblon rafraîchissant. On perd très nettement ces arômes de pomme et cidre à ma dégustation avec une amertume prédominante sur le pamplemousse et quelque peu herbacée, ce, dès l'attaque. De légères épices et un miel en sous-jacent peuvent également être décelés. Si la deuxième bouche voit une amertume très vive, l'arrière bouche est brouillonne, perturbée par l'effervescence. Le final achève cependant cette dégustation par une note positive avec un équilibre enfin trouvé. Corpulence et longueurs sont pour leur part bonnes tout comme l'alcool à 7,5% efficace. Déçu donc par ce millésime 2020, qui cependant pourrait se bonifier en vieillissant.

75cl bottle shared with Eric in Eecke during the famous covid lockdown of 2020. Pours a lightly misty gold with typically huge white head. Big floral fruity nose with that familiar Hommelbier hop notes. Taste continues with a noticeably fruitier hop profile than usual, pine, lime, freshly-cut grass coming through alongside some nice floral shades. Pleasant bitterness. Good year this.
