a beer question.. what is this..!!?

I tried some of this earlier.. what is it for..!?

It’s like a sickly, sticky fruit syrup affair.. with smooth bitter bubbles.. quite repulsive..

is it from a particular genre of beer that I can avoid like the plague..?

Poor troll

my friend can’t get enough of that stuff but he is half belgian. haven’t tried it myself though

I prefer their brun

I think you might call it a Belgian Blonde Ale. not sure if the monks are Trappists. Belgium has almost as many varieties of beer as Britain does, if not more.

The Radieuse is my pick of theirs. Although the 9 is rather interesting.

This must be a troll.

Leffe is a regular of mine, especially when watching F1. I always end up shouting at the telly just like my old man does when watching the football.

I tried one after reading about them here. I’m with yunki. Twas like drinking piss.

stop buying your beer in the supermarket

A bit bland, Mass produced and available in every supermarket. There are far better beers out there.

well.. I happened to be in need of a toilet break this afternoon, and we were plotted up very near to a wine bar..

In need of a swift half to aid and abet the imminent evacuation, and to legitimise my use of the wine bar’s toilet facilities, I bought this on a whim from their puny choice of draught beers..

On first taste I knew that any hope of a satisfaction was a long way off, as all my insides contracted and went into spasm as if poisoned..

a repugnant concoction

A foul brew IMHO – would take a can of tesco value bitter over leffe blond. It has an unpleasant sweetness, just don’t like that taste in ale.

You could try the Chimay beers. The Bleu is 9%abv! The Rouge 7%, Blanche 8% and Doré 4.8%.
Not like wee.

You went to a “wine bar” and drank their beer.

And then you presume to opine upon it?

Oh dear…..

Leffe Brun might be more to sirs taste.

Or are you more of a Special Brew kind of a guy? 😉

If I’m honest CFH.. wine bar might be a colloquialism for ‘overpriced pseudo pub what attracts aspirational tossers’

I only needed a poo for gawd’s sake..

This foul sugary muck has no place in any drinking establishment though, no matter how lowbrow and distasteful..

SSS – I’m fond of a bitterererer brew, although I’ll partake of a special brew on a special occasion..

I suspect Leffe is to Belgian beers as Fosters is to Australian beers.

Nonetheless, it’s nice enough, though the Brun is better.

Also, no-one in this country can pronounce it; it’s “leff”, not “leffie”.

I got well hammered on that stuff on my stag do, in Belgium. Quite some time ago that was though.

I hope the label will never say “Brewed under licence in the UK” like so many great “foreign” beers now say.

Its more like a barley wine

I only needed a poo for gawd’s sake..

Have a McShit then. Even a McShit with Lies if you must*

* “I just need to go to the bog, I’ll buy something on the way out” followed by a quick dash out of a side exit.

Not keen myself either but there are plenty of nice Belgium beers out there.

You’re doing it wrong. It’s supposed to come out of your bumhole.

I’ll meet you out by the bins at 8.30 tomorrow morning with a couple of warm cans of Brew then. 😳

So many very good British ales out there, why any one would pay good money for that stuff amazes me. Tonight I am mostly drinking Mordues Workie Ticket.

In need of a swift half to aid and abet the imminent evacuation,

Don’t think I’ve ever needed a beer to ‘aid and abet’ me to poo.
Go & see a doctor, there’s something wrong with you.

I’ve just had a bottle of Cobra ‘King’. 750ml & 7.4%, freezing cold. Bloody gorgeous.

A bit bland, Mass produced and available in every supermarket. There are far better beers out there.

I concur, try an orval or one of the rochefort’s or if you want niche taste grottenbier or rauchbier.

Or a Gueze 😆

Or a Gueze

You want Lambic? Get in to some of this…

This is my local offy.

Lovely belgian beer

you’ve never heard of, or had Leffe before?
does your mum not let you out very often?

I can’t even imagine what would entice a full grown British male to habitually drink anything other than the myriad glorious brews of our own fair isle..

aahhh yes.. this much is true.. plenty of prunes and linseeds are doing their best but it’s back to the endoscopy unit next month, with all the picolax joy that that day brings..

But lets not dwell on the murkier undertones of this thread.. some people enjoy reading the newspaper on the loo.. I like a nice scalding cup of sweet tea or a pint of good dark ale..

what I do not like is a sickly sweet concoction of nauseatingly smooth Belgian bilgewater

ick ick and ick

Get in to some of this..

They are one of my Facebook ‘likes’. (beer geek)

Mr Smith, the full range is available at my local pub!

*Smug*

Lambic? You’re brave, smells like wet horse. I had a smoked De Molen at the weekend, absolutely hideous.
