About
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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Orangey, hazy beer. Sweetish, full-bodied with lots of yeast in the nose. Fruity, spicy and fresh and not that bitter. A very nice Tripel. 020593

(Bottle 33 cl) The blond Leffe is far from the best Leffe. Pretty nice, huge head and a beautiful golden colour. But no real characteristica to put this above the average blond ale. 060493

ASampled on draft for this rating the beer pours a medium golden color with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a light fruity sour tang. The flavor is tangy, sweetish, yeasty and has a noted band aid element. .

Aroma is strong of cherry and cinamon. Dark color that is still somewhat transparent. Substantial carbonation. Flavor is dominated by cherry and alcohol. Spices are also prominent. Not bad, but ends with a bit of a harsh astringent aftertaste.

Pours very murky and light with tons of carbonation. Head is light. Aroma is very yeasty. Apple and yeast dominate taste. A little disappointed on this one.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle Pours a light brown, golden color with a large fluffy white head. Blocky lacing adhears to the sides. Classic belgian, light spice notes. Some yeasty, slightly musty aromas as well. Flavors are about what I expected, light malts and easy on the hops. Light fruit flavors, maybe a little banana and bubble-gum. Quite lively carbonation and a fairly bitter finish.

(bottle) Dark brown colour with creamy tanned head, slowly lacing. Smoky & fruity aroma. Roasted sweety malty taste with hoppy complex finish. Alcohol is present but absolutely not disturbing. A well made Dubbel.
