Commercial Description:
Brewed for the chez Léon mussels/French fries chain, and also for the Brussels Airlines. Léon beer is pale and full-bodied. It has been specially concocted by Master Brewer Jean Pagura in collaboration with the Alken-Maes brewery to create a delicious combination to go together with the Belgian and Brussels dishes served at chez Léon. This beer is unique because it can only be tasted at chez Léon in the rue des Bouchers where it is served in a large, round glass, specially designed for it. It is the result of a clever mix of pale malts, spring and winter barley and rare hops from Germany and the UK . It derives its whole personality from a final addition of sweet and sour orange peel. This Belgian high fermentation beer is served from the barrel and is 7.2°. It is brewed at Jumet in the installations at the ancestral Union brewery.

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.

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.
