zakkbironia (112) - Athens, - SEP 2, 2009
This one has a stunnining red- violet color that makes a really good first impression. Aroma and taste of flowers and berries that gives you the spring sense. However it lacks the bitterness, it is a bit too sweet. Not bad though. Surely worth a try.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 8, 2012
Bottled at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Fruity cardboard aroma. Sweet with bold, hard body. Some butter, plenty of caramel. No depth. Stone dead.

dcschiller (1457) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - JAN 20, 2012
(330ml bottle). Pours a clear amber color with thick, foamy off-white head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma has a familiar Belgian yeast note along with some fruit, and candied sugar. Taste is sweet with some bitterness. No doubt this is a Leffe beer. Medium bodied with a somewhat sticky texture. Lingering bitterness. Pretty good.

mike1977ok (1037) - NETHERLANDS - DEC 9, 2011
Copper colour. Aroma has quite a lot of bready, yeasty notes. Flavour is a little fruity but not too sweet. It feels slightly unrefined.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - DEC 8, 2011
A clear yellow/orange colored beer, with a small white head. The aroma of malts, fruits, some spices, molasses and hay. The taste is sparkling, some bitter with fruits and spices in the back. The aftertaste is mostly sweet with some bitter.

Straling (262) - Kerkrade, NETHERLANDS - NOV 27, 2011

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 11, 2011
33cl bottle. Pours a dark amber with a decent eggshell white head. Nose : strong malts and caramel notes. Banana and butterscotch feeling. Sip : Nice body ; not so light with a little oily/foamy texture. Little sweet malts with floral hops makes a great balance. One of the best body/texture I know.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - NOV 10, 2011
Pours a nice hazy orange. Aromas of caramel, hint of fruit and hops. Nice creamy malt taste with a nice hop bitterness.

suprchunk (802) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - NOV 9, 2011
A clear light toffee color. Bubbles constantly rising. Big frothy off-white/cream colored head that sticks around almost the entire drink. Big smell of bananas, cloves and yeast. Smells just like a hefeweizen beer. I would swear it was if not for the color and clarity. Smooth creamy and tastes slightly of cloves with a banana presence in the end. Slightly prickly from the carbonation and medium-bodied. Get a bit of alcohol at the back as well. Had to come back. There is a very distinct taste of rotten fruit as the beer warms up. Making this one quite the terrible tasting beer. Too bad, it started so good.
