Leffe Ruby

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Fruit Beer
Leuven, Belgium

Bottle (excavated by Quack-Duck!) Ruby - indeed - amber coloured, lively carbonation, small white foamy layer; sweet, perfumed nose (candies and bubble-gum), traces of elderberries, too, but no traces of beer; sticky MF, sweet, cloying, flavour; short weet fruity finish with a little tartness in the aftertaste. Lang lebe das deutsche Reinheitsgebot........

Bottle at Tom’s Tasting, April 2009. Pink, sweet and fruity. Tastes like pop. Enough said. Not my thing at all. SilkTork would probably love it.

bottle from Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Red colour with a reddish, rather fluffy, head. Aroma of raspberry juice. The flavour also reminds me of juice, raspberries mostly, with a touch of cranberry and strawberry. Rather sweet and lively carbonated. Slightly "beery" only, strongly reminding of a lemonade. Of a refreshing and rather good lemonade, though.

Bottle. Courtesy Cheeta. Creamy white/reddish good mostly lasting head. Red-amber colour. Light maltyb heavy fruity/spicey aroma. Røn (danish for the tree with redberries used in "Gammel Dansk"). Light sweet and great spicey flavor. Røn and licorice notes. Long excellent moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate. Truly great beer.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is reddish amber. Aroma and taste are rich raspberry, cherry and syrop. Nice and fruity.

10/08 0.25 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado or Doggythedog, thanks both for giving it away! It poured reddish body with pink head. Nice aroma of strawberries, some wild berries and maybe elder flowers. Flavor is completely different story, artificially sweet, even sightly sour with medicinal feel, like you drink some of those stuff from the hospital. Awful finish. Crap of a brew indeed.

Fruty aroma strawberry and raspberry. Huge frothy, light pink head. Good lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Sparkling, pink body. Heavy sweet flavor. Light palate.
