Dec 25, 2009 Updated: Dec 26, 2009330mL bottle from a Leffe gift pack I got for Christmas. Poured into sweet branded glass it came with. Nice copperish red, with a small white head. The aroma is very pleasant, nice floral quality to it with some candi sugar and fruity esters (peach, cherry, etc.). Flavour starts out quite malty, then just sweet from the candi sugar, then the esters come in and are rounded out by some minerally bitterness and slight bite from the booze (that is not cloying). On the whole seems reminiscent of a candy apple. This is the best Leffe beer I’ve ever had, and I enjoyed the others I’ve had despite being technically macro’s. Glad to have another bottle, not overly complex but mildly subtle and very pleasant drinking on Christmas day.

Dec 14, 2009 330ml bottle from an LCBOgift pack. pours orangish red with a lasting head. aroma of pils malt and candy. flavour of grainy pils malt, amber candies sugar. the finish is dry and slightly bitter. this brew has the classic leffe profile which is not a bad way to introduce someone to belgian ales but its a very macro way of making this style. this offering is moderately complex and actually quite enjoyable.

Sep 5, 2007 Amber color with orange highlights, clear; nice head, good retention. Spicy and fruity smells, honey and yeast too. Warm and sweet, tastes of honey and candy sugar, dry fruits, alcohol too present, the finish is lightly bitter. Good carbonation, medium body, is too sweet and the alcohol is not well balanced but a good beer for being a Leffe!

Dec 21, 2008 Sweet and sour taste, with a note of tropical fruits and spices, especially banana. Finishes off rather flat. Pretty well balanced, with no strong alcohol tang, though this is a fairly strong ale. A pleasant beer.

Mar 19, 2007 More brown than amber coloured, but a nice appearance. This Leffe can’t top the brown or blond version, but has a pleasant taste.
