We usually have some Leffe in the house and when I found some of my other favorite Belgium beer, Grimbergen local for £0.69 ($1.00), I bought it all and thought we would do a direct comparison.
Well it was a rather pointless exercise, as I love them both but we did discover that Dot prefers the Leffe and I got some nice photos out of the exercise. Both beers do taste very similar, although the Leffe is probably the slightly sweeter of the two.
Grimbergen, Blond from Belgium
6.7%, golden colour with a thin head, sweet fruity aroma and fruity yeasty malty taste, a really nice abbey beer.

Leffe, Blond from Belgium
6.6% deep gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt and bubblegum aroma, sweet strong bubbly malt taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste.

I wish Leffe Triple was widely available in the UK - its mellower and subtly richer. I prefer it to most premium Belgian Abbey Beers.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, I am a loyal Leffe drinker and I came to this post looking for expert's differences, because I can't myself point them out. Cheers!
