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.

Hazy yellow colour, white foamy head. Aroma: citrus, spices and a bit of banana. Some malts, banana, spices and alcohol in the flavour. Weak aftertaste. Not on par with its blond and dubbel counterparts.

Bottle. The aroma is phenolic. A little like the odor of a Spanish olive. The color is coppery, and the white head is vigorous. Medium bodied. Moderately carbonated. Fruit, spice and some sweetness. The finish is decent, and the aftertaste is tolerably fruity and lightly spicy. Good to drink.

No head but a yellowish rim; red-brown beer. Nutty, horse fodder smell, almonds and molasses. Sweet, sugared parsley, molasses - CHEAP in taste and probably in ingredients. False fruity, faintly beefy esters. Medium to better bodied, slick. Nutty aftertaste. They are really searching for cheap producing methods, aren’t they? This is a bl**dy disgrace for a brewery with such financial possibilities. Oh yes, dividends are the only Brazilian passion. And why a Leffe Rossa, and now a Tablée Ambrée (name???)...

Dark brown colour, white head. Sweet aromas, hint of caramel. Flavor: bitter-sweet, caramel, sugar. Finish into a creamy, slighty buttery sensation, with the right amount of bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is dark fruits, yeast and hops. Flavour is made out of pretty much the same. A bit glueish, but otherwise very nice brew.
