3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Ginger Man, NYC. Dark brown body with a frothy, off-white head, slowly diminishing. Moderate aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, caramel, dark fruit and mold. The flavor is light to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and lively carbonation. A bit unclean, but a pleasant enough beer with its sweet fruit to begin and nice bitter bite in the finish.

Poured into a chalice, nice brown-amber colour and a big head, though it’s not too thick. Aromas are fruits and hops. Taste seems slightly tinny, a bit of grain, sweet finish. Just okay, not my favourite Leffe.

On tap at the Lucky Dog Saloon in Lafayette Hill, PA. Pours with little head which is gone in short time. Scent is of plums and other sweetness. Taste is of light brown sugar, plums, grape, caramel and light malt. Very smooth and easy drinking beer. I had mine with a roast pork sandwich and it went very well. I could see drinking this with a wide variety of foods. Flavors were subtle yet present and deep. I very much liked this beer and would happily drink again anytime.

Dry aftertaste. cloying.
