Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cola brown body with a dark tan head. Light sweet and grainy, spicy bitterness, toffee and a light nuttiness. Decent. gallac30 (29), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 22, 2008 My favorite so far of the Leffe lineup. The pour is a lighter shade of brown/red. The head is un-impressive, beige. The nose is wonderfully fruity with hints of flowers and nuts. The flavor is the best part as it should be, the beer is sweet, with an undertone of fresh malts overpowered by citrus hops. The palate is perfect, not too heavy not too thin. mullet2007 (198), St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada Dec 17, 2008 Pours a gorgeous shade of brown, held up to light becomes a deep burgundy red. Not much head, what there is is a deep beige colour. Smell is spicy and vaguely nutty. Flavour is about the same, there is some nice spicy yeasty sort of flavours and a good bit of hop bitterness though not much flavour. There is some sugary malt in the background. Mouthfeel is not too bad, not really watery, but not really syrupy either. Bontus (291), Waasmunster, Belgium Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear brown with a light brown head. Heavy malts, cookie, nutty, molasses. light hops. Watery texture. TheJollyOne (204), Kofu, Japan Nov 29, 2008
Poured a huge castle of frothy head over a reddish brow body. Smelled of roasted malts and brown sugar. The taste had a faint hop bitterness, but was characterized by roasted toffee, burnt sugar, and nice raisins. Quick finish. The palate was a bit oily, but very clean and bubbly. My favorite of the Leffes.

johnnygm (38), Santiago, Chile Nov 20, 2008 A light and more commercial version of a trappist beer. Good head, good carbonation. Caramel, toasted malt, toffee and some nuts. Really easy to drink, and delicious. Very good considering it’s an industrial beer. SeanMacGC (233), Dublin, Ireland Nov 18, 2008 Bottle, 33cl. Pours dark amber, with short-living off-white head. Malt and molasses on the nose, and similar on the palate with yeast undertones. But not that much going on with it, overall. A shadow of a beer in comparison to a genuine secondarily fermented beer, and added sugar is no substitute.
gearbike (413), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA Oct 29, 2008 Deep brown flat color from tap. Complex fruit sweetness. Nice medium body. One glass was great two might be a bit to much.
