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.

Nice leffe, similar to the blonde but with a noticable dose of honey. Lends a thick mouthfeel. Super clean. Online saveur bier

75 cl bottle from a Netto discounter. Poured into a Flute. Clear red-amber-golden colour with a fluffy pinkish head. Sweet aroma with elderberry, cherries, other red berries. Somewhat artificial. Taste is sweet. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Sweet finish with fruits and red berries. Too sweet for my liking.

On keg at home - Slightly hazy golden body, decent top. Nose is light clove, banana, yeast and bubblegum, but all a bit washed out. Taste is refreshing, but all seems a bit watered down. Okay for a BBQ I guess.

Bottle from BeerRitz. It pours clear deep amber - brown with a thick, fluffy off - white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toasty grain, cereal, cracker, toffee, very sweet ripe banana, banana split, nougat, vague hint of smoke (?!) and malt loaf. The taste is rather sweet, sugary, sticky, oily, toothy, banana split, banana cake, candy, dollop of warming booze and s nip of spice with a toothy ol' finish. Medium-full body, moderate foamy carbonation and sticky mouth - feel. I. Bit sweet for my liking, but has a good boost to it. Gets the job done for sure.
