Love it. Caramel color and very smooth spiced flavor. Aroma of light oak and spice. An excellent beer. Made me very happy to drink it. Delicious.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2007 bottle: Amazing beer which always reminds me of xmas! Great example of Belgian Ale. Also a great example of a stronger beer (6.5%) that isn’t overwhelmed by alcohol taste (e.g. Sinha Stout). Pours sunny yellow with nice puffy white head. Tastes exactly like it smells: sweet yet acidic, fruity & yeasty. You can really taste fruit in here llike appricot or bananas, hard to tell. Here is a beer which has big, bold flavours but still is smooth (unlike Mill Street’s Coffe Porter). I always get the sense that if this beer had 1 more bit of flavour it would all fall to pieces & go to hell, but this hangs together.

Very nice deep yellow color. Very Thick head. Aroma is of hops and grains with a hint of honey in the background, not grassy at all. Taste is very bold, but yet mellow, drinks very easy with a decent after taste. A truely great beer.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2007 Pours golden with white head. Unusually clear for a belgian ale. Aroma smells like sugar and bread, hints of sour fruit. Flavor is sweet, hints of bitter hops, some grassy flavors alongside sour/citrus fruit, a little spice (coriander). The mouthfeel is medium - not particularly light, but certainly not syrupy. Carbonation is just right. Overall, quite satisfying - would make a fantastic session beer (although a little strong)

dark rich gold. actually is very easy to drink, due to sweetness and fruitiness.

Pours a dark gold with a nice head. Lots of flavor with a mild sweet taste to it...one of my favs.

LIght golden color with exceptional clarity. Nose has that yeasty and floral smell that is indicative of a Belgian. Very smooth and creamy with a long finish. Senses are a bit dulled from the 9% Chimay Bleue I just consumed, but this is a great beer.

Pleasantly surprised - billed as an ale - but upon pouring, smells reminiscent of good wheat brews (I guess that’s the ’Belgian’ aspect for you) - I dinged the ’appearance’ because the head looked a little too sterile (color of detergent, like your major American players) - which made for an even more surprising satisfaction with the taste - full bodied, fizzy, but not excessively - sweet, but not overpowering, after-taste lingered quite a while - definitely not powered by adjuncts - I drank 12 oz bottle, but could easily see parking myself on a bar stool and ordering out of the tap all day long...

Probably my least favorite Leffe beer. Not that its not amazing, but its a little light for my taste. Still it looks great and has a tan appearance with a nice head. Goes down incredibly smooth but taste leaves a little to be desired.
