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.

Looks like Coca-Cola. Sweet, light bodied, creamy. Clean. Some butterscotch aroma.

Light apricot aroma, a hint cardemmom. Golden, low head light pearling carbonation. Made very easy drinkable by now - fruit - a hint of yeast Solid mouthfeel. Citric retronasal. Pretty boring.

Nice brown color. Light head. Mild aroma - mainly fruity. Slightly spicy flavor with some fruitiness and phenols. A bit on the sour side.

At first it seemed almost like a tripel, with a full aroma and flavor that was bready and slightly spicy. But further into it just became really sweet and cidery (esp as it warmed). Its not something I'd be likely to try again. Crisp, crystalline golden color.

Nut brown colour. Aroma of brown sugar, plums. Soft brown sugar maltiness. Very light dusty yeastiness, plummy slightly cherryish esters and dark malt notes. Sugary finish. Simple character but effective in small doses.
