blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - JUL 15, 2010
Bottle. Pours amber orange with an off white head. Fruity aroma with some spicy and flowery notes. The flavor has a bit of a fruity sweetness, some yeasty spiciness, and some lighter floral notes. Pretty good.

OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 1, 2009
0.33 L bottle. Rocky white head with excellent laceworks. Bright, reddish-brown color. Peppery, caramellish malts and gently sweet fruits on the nose. Taste is bitter-sweet malty, has a fine spicy and earthy hop bitterness with notes of metal. A discreet fruitiness underneath. Well-bodied. Spiced, bitter-sweet ending. A pretty good one.

Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - AUG 12, 2004
33 cl bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV was 8.2%. Large thick head, clear reddish brown colour. Surprisingly weak aroma, but what there is, is pleasant: Ripe and dried fruits, just a faint hint of barnyard. Flavour has malts and spices and a great deal of alcoholic warmth.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - APR 20, 2010
Nice dark red color. Dryish aroma of caramel, raisins, earth and quite a bit of spice. Flavor is fruity and sweet, with that similar Leffe yeast, but not over the top. Earth, dryish hops, very spicy, nice bitterness. A bit boring and regular, but ok.

Jukkabro (3457) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAY 21, 2006
Dark brown head, big yellow head. Spices, fruits and mild chocolate and alcohol in aroma, good basic aroma. Medium to full bodied. Pretty alcoholic flavor with spices and chocolate, aftertaste is dry with alcohol flavor. Expected more out of this.

altonbrownd (3419) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 12, 2006
Bottle at home. Sweet, fruity flavor. Cherries taste, also spicy and toffee-flavored. Tangy finish. Another excellent Leffe.

beerbuzzmontreal (3413) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 23, 2008
Pours a clear reddish brown color with a thick white head. Aroma of apples with some candy. Interesting flavor of apples with a strong presence of candy, it’s sweet from the middle to the end. The body is light with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. Interesting, I have fond memories of drinking this some years ago, I’m glad to find I can still find pleasure in drinking it.
