(bottle) pours a clear deep golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of wheat, caramel, light cooked vegetables, floral hops and straw. flavour is mostly the same, very sweet, with lots of powdered sugar and alcohol in the finish. heavy-bodied with soft carbonation.

MichaelBruch (1489) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - MAY 12, 2013
One of the better from Leffe so far. Nice in look with a bit sourly taste conatining aromas of few yeast and some hops. Not that heavy for a 9 abv.

McTapps (1489) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAY 12, 2013
Light milky dark brown colour with steady creamy head and smooth body. Nose of yeast. Taste of ripe yeast, dark nuts, malt and dark bread. It is really nice and I enjoyed it, but it had more of a German Hefeweizen-character than of a nice Belgian one, what I quite missed.

MrW (227) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - MAY 11, 2013
33cl bottle @ Tolhuis ’t Veer, Schelle. Fruity, straw, grass aroma. Orangeblond, offwhite head. Lacing. Fruits in the taste, some alcohol. Bittersweet finish, some alcohol. I enjoyed it, but since an appointment was advanced, I had to drink it too quick too rate/enjoy it fully.

CanCrusher (309) - Ilirska Bistrica, SLOVENIA - MAY 7, 2013
Bottle 0,75L. Clear amber/orange colour with frothy off-white head, that goes into a nice crown. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits and dried fruits. Slighty fruity. Taste is somwhere between Leffe Blonde and Leffe Brune, light bitter and remarkable.

Beautiful clear golden orange color with white head, In aroma and taste prevale the sweet malt notes, classic in Leffe, sweet aftertaste, full body and good carbonation, one consistent beer.

Silvan7 (135) - Samarate, ITALY - APR 19, 2013
Bottle@ Home from supermarket. Probabilmente la migliore Leffe sul mercato. Ha un bel profumo di frutta estiva (polpa d’anguria, melone) eun aroma deciso di miele dolce (acacia?). La schiuma è bianca cremosa. il colore sabbia intenso, quasi ruggine. Il gusto è più marcato sulla dolcezza del miele e sul caldo alcolico, comunque ben nascosto e integrato nella birra. Finale secco, vellutato.

Holmen1 (1075) - NORWAY - APR 6, 2013
Flaske fra Belgisk Bryg: højt skum! Duft og smak av grønne, syrlige epler med litt sødme i tillegg. Lett munnfølelse, og farlig lett å drikke for 9%. Men på ingen måte grensesprengende, der er mange lyse belgiere jeg foretrekker fremfor denne.

Copper coloured beer with a nutty, yeasty taste mixed with some banana, not bad
