    It's the breakfast of the gods, the beverage and lunch of champions.

    It's my favourite beer ever. It's so very, very fine. It's also a lot better on tap (I was lucky enough to be in paris a while back and found some there)

    Pity it's so expensive here, well worth stocking up on if you're in france.

    Any other fans?

    (I'm new here. Hi!)

    I find it too cloying to drink much of it. My brother swears by it and it's the stockpiled drink of choice in his house.

    I like it but I'd only drink one or two at a time.

    I've only tried the Blonde Leffe, any word on what the Radieus and whatever the other one is are like?

    I'd assume the Radieus has kind of Dunkle qualities but I'm probably wrong

    Brought a load back from Brussels last week. Rather disgustinly, it costs ~4.60Eur for 6 bottles in the supermarket(!)

    Got a gift pack in the airport, 2 glasses and 4 bottles different types of Leffe... mmmm. Giftpack cost 13Eur.

    Just brought a load of these back from Italy. Yup, it goes for cheaper over there. :)

    I tried out the purple (stronger) type on my travels, something like 8.5% or thereabouts. It has a heavier hit but still has that same great taste.

    Had a glass of it in the Netherlands which made me very jolly indeed. Man... I could go for another one...

    Any pubs that do it on tap in Dublin?

    This is my favourite beer at the moment, costs me $9 for a sixer, same price as smithwicks in my local liquor store (I'm in NJ), more expensive than the domestic stuff, but that's mostly a load of piss anyway.

    Absolutely divine stuff, one of my top 3 beers.

    You folk are talking about the blonde beer?

    I'm not a fan at all... maybe if it was really chilled, but I definetely wouldn't rate it. It tastes a bit fruity really...

    If you're in the NJ and Leffe is the best you can find, you're not trying too hard. The "US beer is piss" line is easy to trot out but is laughably wrong.
