De Leite Fils a Papa No 17

IPA aged on whisky and rum barrel 6% ABV De Leite Fils a Papa No. 17 is a rare, barrel-aged Belgian IPA that layers bright, zesty hop character over deep, spirit-soaked complexity. Brewed at West Flanders’ boutique De Leite Brewery, this 6% ABV release is matured in both whisky and rum barrels, picking up warm vanillin, subtle oak tannin, tropical spice, and a gentle molasses edge without losing its crisp Belgian yeast profile. The result is a brilliantly balanced hybrid: lively, citrus-driven bitterness interwoven with soft barrel sweetness, making Fils a Papa No. 17 one of the most distinctive and small-batch barrel-aged ales.
