A pleasant surpise from Leffe. Dark orange with a medium head. Perfume like estery aroma. Malt accentuated flavour, which is fruity, orange and peach, which is also quite yeasty. A mild, perhaps earthy, bitterness provides a little welcome balance. Medium to full bodied. The nicest in the Leffe range that I’ve had by far.

8.5% I think. Poured a murky darker orange body with a medium sized thick white head that went away relatively slowly. Odd nose that I didn’t like much. Some "orange" flavoured cough syrup and alcohol. Ugh. The taste is pleasant if a bit light. Spicey, run of the mill candied orange. Some alcohol... a bit warming. Weak weak herbal hop aftertaste. Not the best solid around but InBev did a pretty solid job with this one. I’d have it again.

May 27, 2008 26/05 0.33 l bottle from belgianshop.com. Poured hazy orange body with medium head. Standard tripel aroma, a bit harsh banana, orange and some spices. Flavor is bitterish, spicy and fruity, very nice balanced and tasty. Alcohol is well hidden in its creamy, full body, finishing in bitterish spicy way. Much better than I’ve expected, so it makes a good tripel.
