Beer Review- Leffe-Biere de Printemps Lentebier


Hello beer friends!  Time for another beer review by me, the amateur beer reviewer and blogger of random things.
Today's beer is Leffe-Biere de Printemps Lentebier (Spring beer) It is one of many varieties of the Leffe brand.  I brought a bottle home from Belgium where I was playing in an international ice hockey tournament.  

Leffe-Biere de Printemps Lentebier. (6.6 ABV)


Visual- Copper color with a thin beige head.  I poured a little too carefully and didn't get the normal thick head.
Aroma-  I detect citrus fruit and malty aromas.
Taste-I can certainly taste the citrus.  It appears to be lemon.  Also just a hint of clove.  Starts off smooth and tasty but finishes kind of tarty.
I'm not sure what I think of this beer yet.  It's playing with my taste buds.  One minute it seems tart but after a few sips, the tartness is less potent.  Then the tartness comes back.  Of all the Leffe varieties, I won't be in a hurry to try this one again.  I'm going to defer a rating for now. I'll never say don't bother.  Your taste buds might be different.  Give it a try if you come across it.  Prost and vive!
