savitska (163), Smyrna, Georgia, USA Aug 20, 2005 To look at this beer, you might think it’s a lager, maybe even a pilsner. To smell it, you might think it’s a wheat beer. Taste it and you’ll know it’s an abbey ale. Spicy, fruity and a touch of alcohol. Went well with my steak and drank a little too quickly for the price.
Cletus (5004), Connecticut, USA Nov 11, 2009 Draught in my kegerator. Pours gold with a nice wihte head. Smells of light spice, perfumy, some dry malt. Tastes crisp and spicy with some floral notes and residual sugar on the finish. poroukas (8), Larnaca, Cyprus does not count Nov 10, 2009 gold colour. Aroma of malts and spices some fruits on taste and spicy. easy to drink (smouth) BigBeer45 (676), Troy, Michigan, USA Nov 8, 2009 Leffe has a clear bright gold pour with a white foamy head, there is an abundance of effervescence in this beer when first poured, fine bubbles cling together and to the glass to make whippy lacing, very nice to look at, head is sturdy and always there and looks like an over carbonated.
Aromas are yeasty bread, malt and some fruit, there is some leaf and faint earthy tones in the background (hops?), and I get some faint alcohol in the background to,
flavors are light malt (Pilsner?), bread and light fruit with a honey sweetness, I noticed some pepper bite at the finish, there was some traces of some malt flavor and sweetness after the finish, and some alcohol felt in the background to, not a lot of alcohol but this is a 6.6% alc. beer and I do not think this should not be given any alcohol flavors for that alcohol strength, the alcohol did not spoil the enjoyment of the beer for me but some drinkers may find it to be a nuisance,
mouth feel is around medium, maybe a touch thin from too much carbonation, this is an easy drinking beer, bubbly and gives a creamy mouth feel (from the carbonation),
this is an ok drink, I liked the malt aroma of this beer but nothing really exciting.
