On tap @ Bar Le Duc ’s-Hertogenbosch. A little hazy golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is very sweet, with malts and fruits. The taste is malty moving over to some bitter, some fruuits and flowers. A little sour in the back. The aftertaste is bitter with sweet and a little sour.

On the tap in Pothuiske in Mestreech. Amber colour, thick hard off-white head. Aroma is fruity sweet caramel. Flavour is lthe same with yeast tones. Could use some more body. As the other guys said good start, weak finish.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Hazy orange with tall head. Mallty nose. Taste of orange, malts and toffee. Then, as Rob said, a watery end.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Light cloudy amber colour, rocky off white head. Aroma of fruits, caramel and amber malts. Flavour is light fruity, caramel, candy, light spicy/yeasty, bitter finish, which is very short. Light to medium bodied. Overall, the beer starts out nice with the aroma and initial flavour, but then everything disappears. Typical De Leckere...
