You will anger the beer snobs here, but don’t worry, if you like it, that’s all that matters. It’s decent IMO, not really that good, not really that bad. I prefer the tripel and Rituel versions myself.
Don’t let the naysayers get you down.
You enjoy your little pleasure.
Next step is to find Belgian food near Istiklal ( Istanbul ) 🙂
Go see Carlos !!!
Had my first Belgian beer, a Leffe, in Botswana in 2009. Had Stella before that but I’m not sure it counts.
Although in my case I had to swig it (the Leffe) from the bottle, no glass available. I know, the ultimate sacriledge.
For me it’s 6 duvels
It’s time to grow as a person.
I’m not a blond Leffe person but I would prefer that over a lot of other non-Belgian beers, and certainly beats the Turkish ones. Though I imagine this bad boy must be very expensive in Turkey. I remember paying a 5 euros for a generic German beer in Ankara. It wasn’t even a fancy place.
TBF, People are partial about that beer.
To me it’s kind of a luxury pilsner with a touch of a special beer, mainly the syrupy sweetness. I neither like its taste nor it’s marketing. Since the latter works so well, it’s often the only option when travelling abroad and that really saddens my soul.
But the rest of the country rejoice.
I’m biased against it because it was the go-to beer of my alcoholic mother. Like, i do enjoy my beers but Leffe will always, with lack of better words, look ‘filthy’ to me.
Leffe is a bit on the sweet side for me to enjoy, but hey, if you like it, who am I to argue? Enjoy the beer and your day bro!
It’s your favorite, who cares what anyone else thinks.
Enjoy!
man even in bursa there are many of them haha
Eh, not our best but certainly not our worst beer. I’d argue it’s not good enough to be your favorite beer over ALL Belgian beers – it’s just maybe the best you have tasted so far ?
I like a good Leffe Rituel, but I’ll go for something else if there’s better available.
I think our only beer that is chemically brewed. If its your favorite, who am I to judge, just enjoy 😉 but I do think we have much better options 🤷♂️
To each is own. I don’t like Leffe, even though it was my late grandfather’s favourite beer.
No Belgian i know ever drinks Leffe
Is that the place near the Hilton bomonti?
Industrial crap, we do better beer bro!
Westvleteren, Boon, Orval, Dubuisson and of course Cantillon!!
I don’t know anyone who actually enjoys drinking blonde Leffe, it’s usually just foreigners. It’s bad! Try Westmalle or Chimay!
So many good beers so little time and no leffe isn’t one of them…
I think there are better Belgian beers.
You may want to investigate and let us know.
Maybe you can offer one to Erdogan?
You have better beers than Leffe…
Leffe is now produced like Jupiler around the world, like Coke is.
Going abroad to drink Belgian beers…
Leffe is pretty much export only.
looks like this dude never tasted Boon Oude Geuze
/s
There are way better beer like Duvel, Delirium Tremens, Westmalle Trappist Tripel, even Hoegaarden Grand Cru, etc.
it’s an unpopular opinion but i do love me a leffe blond with stoverij and fries. and I don’t care that fart smelling beer snobs call me a basic bitch for it.
When Leffe is your favourite beer. You are not a beer connoisseur.
Duvel the best !!
Who the fuck cares? Drink what you like!
Try Efes Pilsner. You wont regret it.
Leffe is toeristenbier, specially brewed for tourists so we have more of the real good stuff.
I miss Efes and Tuborg tbh, go enjoy those!
I’d say Leffe isn’t the greatest Belgian beer. But then again, if you like it, that’s fine! Belgium is known for the many many great beers in all different styles and flavours. There is a beer for everyone to enjoy. So many to taste and explore.
My go to is usually an Orval or St bernardus. But my greatest joy comes from ordering a new, different beer I haven’t tasted yet.
Yes
How much did you pay for that Leffe in Turkey?
Meh, you like what you like.
Tripel Karmeliet, also by Inbev – so probably also internationally available – is markedly better imho.
Yes
Hating on Leffe is the telltale sign of a beer snob. Ignore them. Nothing wrong with Leffe.
In Belgium we use this beer to cook, not to drink.

A little bit. You can do better.
