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.

From tap. Pours deep orange/amber with a huge light brown head. Aroma is toffee and a fruity/yeasty note. Flavour is mainly malty caramel sweet, fruity and with some distinct note I’m not able to completely make out (almonds perhaps). Creamy mouthfeel. Bitter finish.

Bottle. It pours a bit hazy, golden-orange with lots of small floaties and a dense off-white head. Yeast, banana, wheat, spicy hints, sweetness and some alcohol in the aroma. The flavor is a bit metallic, with wheat, banana, alcohol, sugar, some spices and weak hoppyness. Full, sweet and warming body and a quite sweet finish with alcohol and fruityness. A ewell-made tripel. (070416)

Bottled (8.5%) at Man inthe Moon, Stockholm. Cloudy deep golden, rich firm head. Aroma of banana and caramel. Loads of sweet banana liqueur and an evident almondy yeast character. dense in the mouth. Very sweet,but without being cloying. More bold than subtle with some late grassy bitterness and a wealth of warming alcohol.
