COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Filtered.
Uses Vieux Temps yeast which gives the clove-like flavour.
"Leffe Blond is a pale abbey beer, with a full, sunny, golden colour. It has a smooth and full bodied taste and a rich creamy head. Like all the Leffe beers, it is a ’connoisseur’ beer that is easy to drink."

Big white head and medium carbonation in golden body. It’s sweet and spicy. It’s clean and easy to drink. It’s full but not too strong beer. Overall very good beer.

Loin sont les traditions monastiques, en cela remplacées par des brasseurs assis devant leurs consoles. Bien de grande masse qui au travers son ramassage et martelage de publicité pousse un produit qui n’est que l’ombre de ce qu’il fût. Bref .. reste buvable, sans plus, dorée, col épais blanc. Typique des styles pils/abbaye avec un profile de girofle et levure plus prononcé et notes de grains. Force est d’admettre que elle se laisse boire, mais ma conviction me force de ne plus contribuer mes sous à InBev. D’autres bières locales du même style existent.

Doesn’t put off much of a scent. Trying the best I can to sniff out some wheat and corn, but all I get is the scent of very fresh water, like a stream in an undisturbed area of the world. It seems to take you off to a clear stream somewhere in Montana, USA.(makes me wonder what water the Belgian brewers used) Appearance is clear golden with a nice head if you do a careful pour, although it fades moments after. Taste is very bread-like, with a hint of wheat germ and oats. Although it is quite relative to previous tastes, this brew has above average carbonation but doesn’t feel prickly on the tongue. Quite pleasant in my opinion. Overall this brew has a unique trait. The lack of traditional aroma has been replaced by what I describe as an undisturbed freshwater stream, making it extraordinarily refreshing on a warm to hot summer day.

Huubs (30) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 10, 2012
Zoet fruitige geur met een vleug van geurige bloemen. Gouden kleur (beetje amber) en een witte schuimkop die zo goed als geheel verdwijnt. Smaak is licht bitter en gaat over in zoet en doet creme-achtig aan. Lekker toegankelijk bier, maar niet overweldigend. Aldus Huubs. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml bottle. A fresh and yeasty aroma with some fruity hints. Appearance is golden with a very nice white head. Taste is light sour, light bitter. Feels creamy with a soft carbonation and a good mouthfeel and a nice long finish. Overall a very nice Belgian Ale. I really like it.
