Copper in colour, with a light brown head. Huge caramel aroma, with some fruitiness also. Palate was drier than I expected, and the alcohol was well hidden. Sweet finish with some mild alcohol. Very nice 15/20 Re-rate, nothing like i remember... drier dusty aroma, old flavour... slightly metallic and stale 13/20

33 cl bottle. No yeast in bottom. Dark amber colour with a rocky white head. Nice complex aroma of wheat and dried fruit. Great complex and spicy flavour. The alcohol is well hidden. Definately the best Leffe.

Bottle (from Sainsburys). Fruity with dark sugar notes and belgian yeast. Fairly sweet without much balance. Interesting to start with but ultimately disappointing.

A very disappointing attempt from Leffe. Short lived, both on aroma and in flavour. Blonde & brune are much better, OK I appreciate this is a different style, but it delivered very little. Fine Wine Shop, Musselburgh.

It was not that great, I preferedd the Leffe Brune, but anyway, it was good, and the colour was great, it is like the Gouden Carolus.

Deep red, nice head. Smells caramel, malty, fruity, berries, yeast and wellbalanced. It tastes smooth and rich. Not as sweet and malty as I would have preferred it.

A very small head, Leffe Ambrée has a deep red colour and red-fruits aromas with a very small bit of salty taste additionnally. A good amber beer that seems to be a light ale actually. Drink it along strong french cheese, cake or a pork meat recipe.

Deep red-amber hue with a rocky, creamy, off-white head. Cherries, plums, straw, caramel, alcohol, sugar, and a hint of anise. But, mostly the aroma is of very dark fruits. Very sweet throughout with a sharp acidity and an alcohol tinge in the back end. Medium body, velvety texture, fizzy carbonation. Thank Eris I finally figured out what this unlabeled (in my notebook) rating was for! --We’re on a pig’s back charging through a velvet field--
