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.

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.
