Leffe is a company that brews a type of beer called Abbey. Belgian Pales consume the Belgian brewing scene, and were initially brewed to compete with Pilseners during the WWII time frame. They differ from other regional Pale Ale varieties, by traditionally being less bitter, using aged hops for a delicate hop finish, and boasting sweetish to toasty malt overtones. They should be decanted properly, leaving the yeast in the bottle. This will showcase their brilliant color range from pale straw yellow to amber hues. Most will be crowned with thick, clinging, rocky white heads. Flavors and aromas will vary. Some have natural spice characters from yeast and hops, while others are spiced.
The beer has amber/orangish color with a thick white head, although it had poor retention. It smells very sweet with yeast coming through more than anything. The taste matches the smell, sweet with some flavors of fruit. It's very crisp and light, not thick or chewy at all. I have been drinking this beer for years now, but I just found out the history of this beer which has been very intruiging.
