donfardz64 (406), Wellington, New Zealand Aug 27, 2008 Pours cloudy golden, white head. Aromas full of spice, fruit, mainly banana. Reminds me of a wheat beer aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel, coriander like sweetness to it. Very drinkable and very nice. My favourite of the Leffe’s I’ve tried so far. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Aug 26, 2008 Not crazy about it. Drinkable but a strange finish. Surprisingly creamy as hell though. Probably the beer’s best asset. Prometheus (97), Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA Aug 25, 2008 Very nice blonde beer.
Golden color, decent head.
God taste and sweet finish.
Aromas of fruit and spices.
Very nice. Would definitely drink again. bierkonijn (12), amsterdam, Netherlands Aug 25, 2008 I can’t believe i did it again, but imagine yourself having a good time in a bar, despite the fact they only serve leffe and dommelsch and some other andom nothing. Well, they had Zatte, from the IJbrewery. I knew what to drink all of a sudden! a few moments later the fast waitress putted a IJglass in front of my nose. But wait...That’s not a Zatte, I’t’s way too blonde!!, let me taste... NO! I’m sorry dear waitress, this must be a leffe.
No problem, she pored me a Zatte, and in the meantime I was able to take a few more sips to find out again this beer is way worse than any waiter ever could be. The Heineken of the Belgian special beers! spkevin (56), Doetinchem, Netherlands Aug 21, 2008 bottle. great blonde beer. pours a golden colour with a good head. beer smells great and the taste is sweet with a smooth finish. very easy to drink. love to have this one again. great beer! Borresteijn (1347), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 19, 2008 Golden blonde with a copper hue, white head. Aroma of malts, fruits, esters, spices. Flavour is sweet, fruity, a little sour, spicy. Rather thick mouthfeel, soft. Just a very good blond beer. grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Aug 16, 2008 First I have to give an reason why this is so high. A frined, who I thought was a little out there gacve me a Leffe that was over 5 years old. The Best By was 2/08/2005. I decided to give it a shot next to a fresh one (BB 2/21/2009). The aged leffe came out darker and had some yeasties floating in it. Wheras the fresh one poured clean, golden and slightly transparent. The aged leffe had a sweet aroma, bannana, orange and other light lemon. The fresh leffe had these aroma but much much more subdued by the hop and yeast presence. The fresh leffe was crisp highly carbonated, slight hoppiness, yeasty with a clean finish. The aged leffe was not as carbonated but still had some lingering carbonation, sweeter but not over sweet, all of the fruits came out a lot more. This is a huge improvemnt on the original Leffe. Age this beer. Cabeero (15), Thornton, Colorado, USA Aug 16, 2008
Big banana and caramel, just like an abbey ale should be. Sparkling, clear brown appearance with a mostly diminishing head but nice lacing. Other than the lacing, it smacks of macro––but a nice macro brew never the less.
