330 ml can, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. Clear and deep brown colour, large to moderate off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, brown sugar, dark dried fruits. The flavour is not too sweet, but has the same elements as the aroma, with some sourish notes in the finish, and metallic hops in the aftertaste.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Amber colour, mediumsized beige foamy head. Aroma is floral, nutty, herbal and mild wooden notes with also some not-that-sweet syrup. Flavour is floral, mild toasted tones with some wood and mild earth. Not that bad.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Clear nut brown, mid sized head, Aroma of cabbage soup and caramel. Sweet with light body and clean mouthfeel. Brown sugar, vegetable soup and hay. Pretty much tastes like a full alcohol beer, unfortunately an InBev one.

Apparently the launch of a non-alcoholic version of Leffe Blonde in 2019 was deemed successful enough by the AB InBev imperium to create this brown follow-up in 2020, with a label similar to the classic Brune, but of course clearly mentioning the 0.0% ABV. Available from bottles and cans apparently; I got my bottle from the Delhaize supermarket in Lokeren. Very thick and moussy, pillowy, creamy, pale greyish beige, densely cobweb-lacing head on a crystal clear, deep 'metallic' bronze-brown beer with copper-red hue and some visible sparkling. Aroma of industrial caramel, chewing gum, ferrous water or even rusty iron, plaster, burnt brown sugar, vague hint of brown bread crust somewhere, polyester rug, burnt rubber, aspartame. Sweet, simple onset, brown-sugary in a dull way - though nowhere sticky, medium carbonated, very smooth and evidently thin mouthfeel though just a teeny bit less watery than non-alcoholic lagers and somewhat glueish, with a clear metallic 'zing' to it; simple maltose sugariness, corn slickness and 'bubblegumminess' flavoured with industrial caramel, accentuating the sweetness but also adding a 'burnt' kind of bitterness in the end, which feels a bit chemical rather than naturally roasted or hoppy. Sweetness prevails, even if this bitterness lingers for quite a while; I feel a very slight hint of tomato (sauce) and a whiff of clove in the end as well. Not good, of course, and completely redundant if you ask me, but I must admit that it is also a bit less bad than I was fearing; feels a bit 'bruin tafelbier'-like, in an industrial, smoothened, cheap and artificial way, not unlike the well-known brown Piedboeuf from the same company - with the difference that tafelbier still contains a bit of alcohol, of course. As for its commercial intentions: well, I guess there is some likeness to the classic version indeed, in its artificial caramel, sweetness and metallic side effects, so people who love Leffe Brune will probably be happier with this one than I am.
