4/5 rDev +5.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

10oz. draft served in a snifter

A- A dark brown, translucent, with a fizzy tan head, dissipates fairly quickly, lacing better than I thought it would be.

S- Very nice combo of dark belgian malts, dark fruits, candy sugar, and belgian yeast

T- Starts with a hit of the malt, with some dark fruit following, candy sugar and a light hop bitterness follow, and the sweetness wins out.

M- Pretty full and silky, a light carbonation is spot on.

O- Very tasty, and I'd certainly enjoy it again!

Serving type: on-tap

3.64/5 rDev -4%
look: 4 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.75

generally speaking, i only grab a leffe if i'm strapped for cash and am trying to stretch bucks and still have something resembling the experience of drinking a nice belgian. it's a bizarre and probably mostly unsuccessful compromise (as most compromises are) because i wish the whole time that i was sipping corsendonk instead of slugging leffe, unless i can take a step back and temper the averageness of the brew with the beauty of being a being in time at all, and in my own humanness, rejoice. so, then, as a stepping stone to realizing a higher plane of consciousness, i am a bit indebted to this beer, though my getting there is traceable quite readily to it's just-a-hair-above-mediocre character. it does look nice in a glass, though its head was thin and weak and it smelled a bit like dried montmorency cherries.

12oz bottle into plastic cup at CitiField.

A: Brownish Hue, Passes Mild Light, Off White Head, Some Lacing

S: Chocolate, Mildly Bready

T: Bananas, Chocolate, Mildly Bready, Mild Belgium Yeast

M: Decent Carbonation, Medium Bodied, Mildly Filling

Overall, not a bad drinking beer, has nice balance but seems a little forced on the flavors.
