Bottle, at home. Golden with large white head. Light aroma of malt and yeast. Moderate sweet, typical abbey ale.

Golden of color with a white head. an aroma with fruit and coriands. The flavor fresh with spicy notes.

On draft at numerous locations in France, where it was often the best beer on the menu. Hazy light yellow-orange body, medium off-white head. Fruity nose with wet grass and tangy malts. Medium-bodied with notes of citrus and spicy esters, balanced by wet hay and sudsy bitterness. Floral. Nothing spectacular, but quaffable.

On tap, Allen’s, Toronto. Beautiful golden colour, huge white head - great appearance. Strong citrus aroma. Taste had much more body than I expected - it is rather smooth, but I found it overly sweet and syrupy. Perhaps this could have been balanced off with a little more carbonation. With this unbalance, I really tasted the alcohol as I made my way through it. Still, it was a decent beer.

Bottle... Light orange with a white head. Sweet, chalky aroma. Intensely sweet with banana and coriander flavors, alcohol comes in and is balanced by hops. Creamy finish with a clove aftertaste.

It pours a golden color with a huge rocky head. Doesn’t have anything going for it in the taste department besides. While a clear step over most mass-produced beers, this is the worst Belgian ale that I have had.

A pleasant surprise. Draft, in Leffe glass. Sort of a light amber color, good head retention throughout. The aromas was a bit on the spicy side. Flavor was clean, a touch sweet, but not cloying. The earthy flavors grabbed my attention, combined with a woodsy floral finish. This was superlative with a spicy lamb sausage penne dish.

33 cl bottle. No yeast in bottom. Light amber colour with a offwhite foam. Sweet aroma of yeast and dried fruit. Some complex flavour that ends dry and little metalic. The lightes taste of all Leffe products.
