Leffe Royale Whitbread Golding is een uiterst verfijnd bier. Haar blonde kleur met subtiele bitterheid en een toets van citroen en hars, in combinatie met een smaakpalet van vruchten, bepalen de elegantie van dit uitzonderlijke bier.
"High quality belgian blond beer, masterpiece from the masterbrewers at Leffe". Refined bitterness and delicate hops aromas. Charles Nouwen, brewmaster of Leffe, traveled the world in search of the best hops. Whitbread Golding Hops is grown in the Poperinge region of Belgium. Leffe Royale Whitbread Golding is the original recipe for Leffe Royale, launched in 2012. Its delicate bitterness with citrus and resinous notes, reminiscent of that of banana or vanilla, as well as flowery aromas define this exceptional beer.

Clear bright amber beer with a little white head. Palate is smooth and slightly soft. Fine carbonation. Smooth light malts with a touch of cream. Light tripel like fruitiness. Light sweet floral notes. Whisper of spice. Finishes neutral. Pretty drinkable.

Bottle from GBBF 2013 and drunk at home. Clear amber with lasting beige head. Belgian yeast aroma. But a bit metallic. It’s a basic plastic Belgian ale. Compared with a couple of Italian beers I’ve had with Belgian yeasts in the past few days, this is just so lacking in character it’s almost untrue. Ok, just. But the esters are like kiddie Fruit Salad chews. Um, I was expecting better. This is mass produced, dumbed down and lacking character.

Clear golden coloured body with a hint of bronze and copper with no head at all to speak of. Aroma of alcohol, oak, hay, grass and a touch of malt and whiskey - not much else here. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavours with some oak, smoke, vanilla and whiskey noticeable and not too many soft notes at all. Aftertaste shows some subdued oaky and dry finishes with only a bit of whiskey, scotch and alcohol noticeable. Overall, a sub-par beer, the first one i’ve had in four days here in the country that hasn’t been great - but chalk this up to leffe! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Carrefour Express in Antwerp, Belgium earlier today on 15-August-2013 for €1,57 sampled in my hotel room here in Gent, Belgium on 15-August-2013.

Bottle at The Fiddler, Den Haag. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is caramel and resin, leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of malt and a touch of liqourice on the smooth palate. Quite a drinkable beer that’s up there with the regular blonde.

Bottle, 7.5%. Fruity, caramelly and yeasty aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is sweet, caramelly and nicely bready. Fresh white bready which comes out better as the beer warms. Medium bitterness.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit with a touch of yeast. Sweetish, malty flavour with fruity notes and a floral touch. Feels heavy. Sweetish finish. Nice.

Amber color with medium sized compact head. Controversial aroma, there is some nice and spicy Belgian yeast, but also some stale water. Lean mouthfeel, too much carbonated, with some sweetness, and a bad vegetables taste; ordinary bitterness; some fusels in the end.
Bad.

75 cl bottle @ HeBF’13, BBE 18.05.2014
Aroma is sweet with apricot, alcohol, some soapy notes, grain, toffee and caramel. Flavour is sweet with toffee, apricot, some alcohol, peaches and caramel. Too sweet but quite good for a Leffe.
