You may ask yourself, Why would he start off the blog with a beer that you can buy in the US? But this is precisely the point. The Leffe Trippel was probably the first Belgian beer I had. Probably even before a Stella. Leffe beers are ubiquitous in the Brussels area. The Blonde is the beer that you are most likely to find on tap in the restaurants in and around the city.
The trippel is a creamy, lightly hopped 8.5% Abbaye. Is it great?... Well, no. It is good, but in the same way that a Toyota is good. It is serviceable. It wont offend anyone. And it gets you where you are going.
Unless the brakes fail or the accelerator sticks on your Toyota. Then it is very exciting! Same is probably true for Leffe. Given the right circumstance, could be an exciting beer.
