similar to other Leffe brew i have had. Banana, sweet a bit of caramel more pronounced in this one. a raisin character near the finish. bubblegum with a moderate body low in carbonation. fleeting taste of malt from time to time. sweetness almost cloying. hardly something bitter in here.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from LCBO. Pours dark dark brown with tan head. Aroma is Belgian ale spiciness and some ripe fruits. Delicate roasty and spicy taste with some banana notes, and a smooth clean finish. A nice Belgian ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33cl bottle pours dark mahogany with large tanned head and light carbonation. Aroma consists of yeast, fruit and flowers. Taste is very light and very sweet, and leaves a lovely sticky palate. Has a honey nectar quality about it, and leaves good lacing on the glass. Probably a little better balanced than its blonde cousin, but I find this a bit sickly sweet. There is probably not much between the two, but I prefer the Blonde.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
