wetherspoons are currently selling Efes at £1.79 a large bottle(on offer)...but it doesn''t taste the same in winter in a high street pub

[felicity]

No and I bet that they don''t serve it in iced glasses either...LOL!    (for info - our Tesco was selling 4 bottle packs for £3- so I bought some to remind us of home...but that too didn''t taste the same... )

Mrs B obviously has impeccable taste!

Apart from the blond, they also produce a ''dark'' (brune, brown label), an ''old'' (vielle cuvee, purple label), a ''spiced'' (radieuse, red label) and the cream of the crop which came out about 15 months ago is simply called ''9'' (blue label), so named for the % ABV. It is absolutely gorgeous, only marginally darker than the blond.

Only downside is that I cannot obtain the latter two here... sniff! Interested to know the spread in the UK?

Project ''Swiss Efes'' is running a bit late, as the shop is currently shut due to holidays.

Why, thank you Vieux con... beers, ales and ciders draw me like a magnet!
I have tried the brown label, but prefer the blond...especially served in a bowl glass (the ones that look like oversized wine glasses!).
I know blond Leffe is available in most supermarkets, but not looked for the others....i shall investigate!!
