Leffe®. Anno 1240. Blonde. Alc 6.6% by vol. 6 x 11.2 fl oz. Original Belgian abbey ale. Belgian ale. Abbey ale. The story of the abbey of Leffe. Leffe blonde abbey beer traces its origin back to the Abbaye of Notre Dame de leffe, founded in 1159 in the province of Namur by the river Meuse. It was in this placid valley that, in 1240, the monks first brewed Leffe beer. At that time, the abbeys and monasteries provided shelter, food and refreshment to passing travellers and pilgrims. Being entirely self-sufficient, the Norbertine monks at Leffe handcrafted their own beer, brewed naturally from the finest local ingredients with an almost religious dedication. Savor the flavor of Leffe blonde: Award - winning Leffe blonde is a full - bodied deep golden beer that is smooth and subtle and surprisingly easy to drink. A spicy, faintly clove-like aroma draws you in to reveal Leffe's creamy body and restrained dry finish - an elusive yet satisfying experience. Belgium's classic abbey beer is best served in its own chalice-shaped glass, accentuating the beer's aroma and creating the perfect head. Sip Leffe slowly and savor the mystery.
