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.

It is not my best tripel but it is acceptable. The taste is too sweet with malt, candy sugar, apricot, fruity, the hop is discreet. 27.11.2017, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz, buying it at the tigros or coop at Domodossola.

It is a drinkable IPA we could say an IPA from leffe, with the eternal taste of candy sugar and the typical yeast from this brewery. 05.09.2016

It is not my favourite beer. They make a lot of marketing for a basical product. Of course, it is just my opinion, losing my rate of ratebeer, drinking it probably at Bonfol, buying it at Delle or Paris., trying to make something craft that it is not really a craft.

It is an average Belgian IPA, we could say. The taste is a mix of this hop and the typical taste of leffe with yeast and malt, acceptable. 02.11.2016

I was disappointing by this one. The taste is sharp, brutal with the alcool, some yeast, malt, sugar but the brown one is much better. 10.05.2017, drinking it at Prélaz, Lausanne, buying it at the tigros, supermarket, Domodossola.

To be a leffe, this one is probably with the brown version, the best one, hundred times better than the rituel, powerful aromas of plums,fig. 25.03.2018, drinking it in Lausanne, Prélaz with a good rice. Buying it probably in Paris.

This beer is for me better in the draft version, classical Belgian ale, rather sweet, side of sugar, malty, a bit boozy, classical hop, discreet. Drinking it several times at Bonfol, draft or bottle version. Ingredients are too industrial,, the bottle version is not my favourite.
