Description
De Abdij van Leffe, opgericht in 1152, was een norbertijnenabdij waar kanunniken in een gemeenschap samenleefden met bijzondere aandacht voor opvang en gastvrijheid. In 1240 besloten de kanunniken een brouwerij te bouwen om een gezonde en versterkende drank te bereiden. Door de Franse Revolutie werd abdij gesloten. Pas in 1929 werd de abdij heropgericht. In 1952 besloten abt Nys en Albert Lootvoet de brouwtraditie en de goedbewaarde receptuur van Leffe te hervatten. In 1954 al werd Brouwerij Artois hoofdaandeelhouder van Brouwerij Lootvoet. De productie werd in 1977 overgeheveld naar Brouwerij Grade in Mont-Saint-Guibert, tot de sluiting in 1996. Tegenwoordig wordt Leffe gebrouwen bij de brouwerij van Stella Artois in Leuven.

De abdij van Leffe is middels de vennootschap Brasserie de l'Abbaye de Leffe slechts houder van het intellectueel eigendom op de naam Leffe.

Barwa brąz, jak lekko chrzczona cola. Piana gęsta, lekko beżowa, drobnopęcherzykowa, ładnie oblepia szkło nawet niczym korzuch. W aromacie nuty ciemnego pieczywa. W smaku czekolada deserowa, lekkie nuty kawowe. Mało slodyczy. Przyjemna goryczka. Bardzo dobre, szybko znika.

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Golden brown, clear with a full but quickly dissipating off-white head. Bready aroma, some dates, cherry, caramel. Taste is sweet, almost cloying, with sugared plums and date syrup. More bitter on the short finish, a bit jarring, notes of apricot brandy. Full body with low carbonation. Imperfect but enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - golden and clear with a fizzy white head. Nose - dried orange, light banana and yeast spice. Taste - honey then burnt brown bread. Palate - light bodied, sweet generally. Overall - a bit unbalanced when it doesn't have the alcohol.

Oof. Sweet, yeasty, malty, a touch bitter. Good thing is there's some taste and it's not awfully watery, but it just plain tastes a bit unpleasant. Meh.

Bottled 250ml. -from Casino Megeve. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized white head, light yeasty fruity nose. Yeasty, wheaty, light spicy and touch of coriander with mild fruity finish. Not bad.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è elevata. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina . Il retrogusto è intenso Sul tetto della bocca si attestano sentori di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, erbe aromatiche e frutta passita.
