COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Tired of talking my friends into pit stops at beer bars before heading “out” - in fear of having to drink bland lager all night - I set out to craft an ale that would act as companion throughout the evening. Fit for beer geeks and party freaks alike, Leon is whole-cone hopped and fermented dry using champagne yeast. The yeast and the hops (Amarillo & Simcoe) in combination with a simple malt bill provides the beer with a quality of being rich in taste yet refreshing. Drink it chilled out of a wine glass or just straight out of the bottle.

Skål!

Aroma is yeasty and hoppy, the hops are not very fruity, but they are clearly there. Flavour is the same as the nose, Clear notes of yeast and hops, the malt backbone is subdued. Mouthfeel is average and in total this is a competent brew.

Hazy gold beer, big white head. Smooth palate. Belgian style seltzer minerals. Semi sweet tripel like malts. A little pink grapefruit and citrus. Light pale malt buried underneath. Crispy and semi dry finish. Good stuff!

Bottle from Ale Yeah. Really like these Omnipollo beers. This one poured orange and bright with a big pillowy white head. Nice carbonation. Aroma was musty with some notes of Belgian yeast and citrus. Flavors were slightly funky with nice citrus throughout, some spice. Lively mouthfeel yet light in body. Very much like a funky saison. Nicely done.

jeremyh70 (351) - Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Pours a hazy bright amber with a huge foamy white head that retains fairly well and leaves decent sudsy lacing. The nose is citrusy and musty with an underlying grassiness. Musty and grassy flavors really come through in the taste with a mildly astringent herbal bitter and faint citrus character. Finishes semi dry with no sweetness and a bitter that lingers bit until carbonation scrubs it away. Mouthfeel is crisp but smooth with a medium body and high carbonation. A fairly easy drinking beer but lacks the spiciness and touch of funk that I prefer in the style, but it is refreshing and well balanced.

Good scent. The taste is really good and tasty. The aftertaste is weak long but good.

Lite persika, beskan finns där men är lite tom i karaktären, hänger inte kvar så mycket i eftersmaken, inte så mycket kropp, inte så mycket sötma. Ölen är däremot behagligt frisk. Ett bra sommaralternativ till en hoegaarden. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
