The beer has that deep ruby brown color that I love, the beige head is generous, the lace adequate. Nose is malt, fruity, maybe a bit of plums? The start sweet, the middle light as is the cabonation, hop spicy, dry, slightly acidic, interesting flavors to say the least.

Well mature bottle. Dark amber color; creamy giant head. Some malt, caramel, spices and grass in the nose; malt, caramel, honey and spices in the flavor; the taste is also completed by a correct bitterness; hides well the alcohol content. Bitter long final.

In my early years I used to consider it my favourite one. Actually it's too poor in character and originality; but it's solidity pushes it to be the best among the Leffe.

33cl bottle purchased in Luxembourg: poured reddish/brown with a medium sized off white head. Moderate bubblegum aroma, caramel. Flavor is candyish, bubblegum with moderate sweetness. Little bit of caramel. This is a nice beer.

A nice dark amber color, clear for a Belgian. Small head but good lacing. Has that fruit filled pastry scent common with Belgians. Like an apple cinnamon danish with almond slices sprinkled over it. A warming spicyness on the lips, like biting a slice of fresh ginger. Sweet but not cloying. All said, it's a solid brew.

Deep amber in colour, creamy beige head. Aroma was slightly sweet, caramel, cream and yeast. Flavour was sweet, some malt, smooth and full bodied. Finish is very smooth with a mild bitterness.

Beaut coppercolour, medium head. Typical Leffe nose, some lacing. Good mouthfeel with alcohol well masked, restrained complexity. Probably the pick of the Leffe litter. More please.
