3.4 Served from PerfectDraft @ 3°c. Creamy white head stayed on a thick cloudy vivid golden body. Minimal aroma of spice & malt. Medium bodied, creamy mouth feel with a tingle on the back. Spices, lactose, light malt, & fruity tastes with a hoppy peppery finish. Nice

3.9 Dfp

3.2 Keg @Cimmeria, Oviedo. 11-11-2018. In short: metalic belgian ale. Did I enjoy it: i had it, that´s enough. Pours little hazy amber-light copper with frothy creamy off white head. Long head retention, some lacing. Malty, yeasty nose, caramel. Medium body, average carbonation, slick texture. Taste is malt forward, yeasty, caramel, some metalic palate. Average.

3.3 Barwa czerwona, przejrzysta. Biała piana o nie wielkiej trwałości. W smaku całkiem treściwe, lekko słodkawe, natomiast aromat mało intensywny.

3.1 Ar: caramel, spices, roasted malt Ap: bronze, minimal head T: med bitterness, med sweetness P: med body

2.9 Couleur ambrée avec bonne mousse. Nez houblonné un peu caramélisé. Gout malté caramel un peu sucré, houblonné et levures. Corps très pétillant. Fin avec petite amertume douce. Pas trop mal

3.4 On tap - dark but clear amber with thick creamy head. Decent bready aroma. Good mouthfeel. Full flavour, thick creamy texture - Nice beer.

3.1 De barril. Ale belga de abadia. ligero aroma afrutado. color rojizo oscuro. espuma blanca media que permanece. gusto dulce agradable y refrescante. fruta, cereza, maiz. no tiene el sabor ahumado y de barrica de las otras leffe. cuerpo medio bajo. refrescante. una buena cerveza para acompañar una pizza pero no mucho mas.

3.3 Pinta en Katie Daly?s Irish Pub (Bayonne) Aromas suaves maltosos tipicos de cerveza belga, sabor suave, se deja beber muy bien.

3.1 Bu au bon accueil à bousbecque chez mon ami axel ! Santé ! Couleur cuivre assez brillance reflet dorée ! Mousse légère aéré mais pas de structures de mousse. Au nez : c’est le houblon , un peu de sucre et sensation vineuse . En bouche : c’est sucre je trouve un peu de houblons en milieu de bouche . Sensation un peu huileux et vineuse . Longue en bouche mais des arômes trop approximative .

3.1 On tap @Mr beer, Sevilla. 30/01/17 Color ambar, sabor maltoso, cuerpo medio.

3.7 Pullossa lukee Leffe Bière de Printemps Lentebier, mutta Ratebeerin mukaan kyse on samasta oluesta; prosentitkin täsmäävät. Punertavan ruskea kirkas olut paksuhkolla, kermamaisella pitkään säilyvällä vaahdolla. Tuoksu maltainen ja makea, marjainen ja karamellinen. Maku pehmeä, marjaisa ja hieman karamellinen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma. Pehmeä kokonaisuus ja ihan tasapainoinen belgi, mutta se jokin puuttuu.

3.0 Bottle. Clear brown color with tan head. Aroma - Malty, citrus, honey. Taste - Sweet, yeast, caramel, bubble gum, grass.

3.8 Tap. Bronze colour. Clear. Huge creamy white head. Excellent retention. Yeasty aroma. Candy, fresh mushrooms. Light to medium body. Sweetish taste of caramel, esters. Light bitterness appears near finish. It looks perfect. It smells intriguingly. It tastes just good. Downstairs. Nevertheless nice experience. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

2.8 Bottle of 33cl, in a Leffe glass; from the fridge. As usual for Leffe today, no real taste and no real aroma.Refreshing, but no worth the money.

2.8 Bottled, 330ml as Leffe Rossa at Brasserie St. Epvre, Nancy, France. Amber towards red with off white head. Sweet, fruity beer, light red currant note with a sweetish malty hint. Thinnish, lightly herby. It’s okay,

2.5 Alla spina. Malto, zucchero caramellato, un tocco nocciolato, sentori metallici. Dolciastra, appiccicosa, persistente. Spiacevole.

3.5 Draft in some bar near Bercy trainstation. Sweet fruit, spice bread and grassy. Sweeter than bitter. A little buttery.

2.9 *Old rating, best before 08/02/12. As Leffe Printemps / Lentebier. Smooth but a bit alcoholic. Round and fresh, smooth, mild, grainy. Round but not too deep.

2.2 Bottle sample at a tasting . Thanks Shmupi. BBD 02/12. Hazy orange-amber color. Smell of candy, yeast, alcohol and dried fruits. Sweet, sugary and alcoholic flavors, notes of overripe fruit, yeast, caramel and honey. Passed its prime.

1.8 Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Shmupi. BBD 02/12. Slightly hazy copper with beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of candy and milk chocolate, some graininess, creamy. Very alcoholic flavor, grainy and sugary, notes of caramel and honey. Lively carbonation, medium-bodied. Too old.

3.1 At bar Viriato, Sevilla. On tap, in leffe glass. With Viriato burger. At first it seems soft and nice, but in the long run you get a bit tired of it sweetness and the alcohol makes you a bit dizzy. In Spanish this is called Leffe Roja. Only on tap

3.5 From tap at the Beerstore, Thessaloniki. Almost clear, dark amber color with white head. Aroma is malty, spicy, citrusy fruity, caramel, dusty malty. Sweet and light bitter taste, fruity and dusty like aroma. Light almost oily body with soft carbonation.

2.8 Bue à la pression en 50cl acheté au Bar de l’U bu au Scénacle, couleur ambrée/pourpre, mousse moyenne et peu d’effervesence, une bière avec une attaque sur le sucre candy très forte et sur le grain fin de bouche sur la levure caractéristique de le Leffe.

3.2 Bue à la pression. Couleur ambré foncé. Nez floral, au palais : malt +++ sucre et caramel. Alcool present.

3.0 Pours a clear copper ish with a creamy off white head. Strong yeast aroma. Taste is an initial bitter with no real finish.

3.0 Keg @ De Kuppe, Brugge. Called Printemps Lentebier. Clear cherry-red colour with a small bubbly head. The cherry is evident but light and it’s a fairly refreshing fruity beer with its strength not really evident.

2.7 Tasted as Leffe Rossa in Venice in 2004 and as Leffe Bière de Printemps / Lentebier when it was put on the Belgian market under that name in 2011. Perfectly equal, off-white, creamy head, light amber colour, clear with calm sparkling. Pasteurized smell, caramelly malts, bit nutty, molasses, meat broth, biscuit, tulips, tomato, mango, smoked bacon. Caramelly taste, slick with rather thin body, floral and honeyish, sweetish, strongish carbo, fairly straightforward and boring like the other Leffes. Slight hop bitterness in the finish as well as badly hidden alcohol. Another industrial, ’dead’ AB InBev product.

2.3 Een bier met een beetje een speciale smaak, sommigen zullen dit lekker vinden, maar ik vond het niet zo goed.

3.6 iguana cantina in venice. Rosy Reddish brown ale with a good off white head and good lacing. Banana and other fruit on the nose. Taste is slightly sour and bitter, but quite sweet too. Carb is slightly prickly with medium body. Good.
