3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 caesar (4029) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - MAR 9, 2013
Bottled. Clear golden color, medium lasting white head. Aroma is quite spicy, slight grassy hop. Quite like the regular Leffe Blonde. Medium sweetness in taste, some caramelly malt, slight bitter. Bit sticky on the palate. It’s decent Leffe quality, but nothing spectacular. Not that I was expecting any out-of-the-box thinking, but still I had a glimmer of hope upon reading ’masterpiece from the masterbrewers’. Missed opportunity.

33CL bottle at home. Honestly I don’t think this beer is that special, it is quit a standard Leffe beer, still nice though.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 rosenbergh (4762) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 23, 2013
330 ml bottle. From bierzwerg.de.
Clear lively golden colour with a small white head.
Sweet caramel, banana, pear essence, starch and some malt in quite unpleasant aroma. The flavour is alcohol, mild bitterness, mild hops, sweet caramel and mild maltiness. Rather unpleasant. I don’t like Leffe and this is not an exception.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Brandman (1456) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 21, 2013
Clear coppery body, white head. Aroma has vegetable, sweet malt, alcohol, pear lemonade (made with essence). Quite oversweet. Flavour is just lemonade. Not my kind of a beer. Not blonde not tripel, just nothing.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Benfi (307) - DENMARK - FEB 20, 2013
Pours a hazy golden/light amber with a massive white head, aroma is vibrant with yeast, orange pith, and spices. Taste is slightly metallic, wheat, with some booze on the end, really thick foamy mouthful.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 R2k2 (122) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 18, 2013
Nice, sweet aroma with a touch of alcohol. Nice dark honey-colored beer with a white layer of foam. Nice bitter taste with a little touch of licorice on the background. The aftertaste is also bitter, with a dry aftertaste.
Heerlijk, zoet aanwezig aroma met de zwoele toets van alcohol. Mooie donkere honingkleurig bier, met een mooie witte schuimkraag. Lekkere bittere smaak met een lichte dropsmaak op de achtergrond. De nasmaak is eveneens bitter en heeft een droge afdronk.
